FAQ
Q: Can I use other fruits instead of apples?
A: Yes! Pears or even dried fruit like raisins or cranberries would work well in these cookies.

Q: Do I have to peel the apple?
A: For the best texture, it’s recommended to peel the apple, but you can leave the skin on for added texture and fiber.

A: Yes! You can make the dough up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature before baking.

Q: Can I make these gluten-free?
