Can I use sweetened applesauce?

Yes, you can, but the cookies will be noticeably sweeter. If you want more control over sweetness, stick with unsweetened applesauce and add your own sweetener if needed.

Can I use a different flour instead of almond flour?

Almond flour is best because of its texture and fat content. Coconut flour will not work as it absorbs too much liquid. Oat flour could work in a pinch, but the cookies will be denser and less chewy.

Do these cookies spread while baking?

No, they stay roughly the same size and shape, which is why flattening them before baking is important.

Can I make 2 Ingredient Apple Cookies in the air fryer?

Yes, scoop and flatten the cookies as usual, then air fry at 325°F for about 8 to 10 minutes. Check halfway through to avoid over-browning.

Are 2 Ingredient Apple Cookies healthy?

hey’re naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and made with simple, whole ingredients, making them a better-for-you cookie option.

What kind of applesauce works best?

Smooth, unsweetened applesauce works best. Chunky applesauce can make the dough uneven, though it can still work if you don’t mind little bits of apple in the cookies.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a bowl, mix applesauce and almond flour until fully combined.
Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, portion dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between cookies.
Flatten each ball into a thick disk and smooth edges if needed.
Bake 15-18 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
Cool completely on the sheet before removing.

Notes

Use unsweetened applesauce for the best balance of flavor.
Superfine almond flour makes cookies soft and tender.
Add cinnamon, vanilla, or nuts for extra flavor.
Cookies firm up as they cool, so don’t remove them too soon.
