Chewy Vegan Apple Pie Cookies combine the cozy flavors of classic apple pie with a soft, oat-based cookie texture. Made with wholesome, plant-based ingredients, these cookies are naturally sweetened and perfect for a comforting dessert or snack.

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 cups diced apples

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup vegan caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts if using.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  7. Gently flatten slightly if a crispier edge is desired.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Drizzle with vegan caramel sauce if desired and serve.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats to ensure the recipe is fully gluten-free.

Tart apples provide a balanced flavor, but sweet varieties also work well.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature before serving.

Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for a softer texture.

Increase applesauce slightly for softer cookies or flatten before baking for crispier edges.
