Introduction

These cookies are like eating an apple crisp! They're a wonderful snack/treat. They're super healthy, too. For those cutting sugar, try with splenda for baking or brown sugar splenda. They are a bit sweet, so you could cut the sugar by half and they would still be excellent! These cookies are like eating an apple crisp! They're a wonderful snack/treat. They're super healthy, too.
