Apple Cookies – Fresh Fruit Biscuits

in ,

A quick idea for a tasty snack that you can assemble little by little with whatever you have in the pantry: the only ingredient you must use is a nice juicy, firm apple — here are the apple cookies, fresh fruit biscuits that are crunchy and very delicious!!!

Of course we can’t really call this a recipe, that would be a stretch — let’s say it’s a suggestion for a little snack, a quick comforting treat and absolutely delicious; in fact it was my lunch today and I enjoyed it a lot.
Once in a while I changed the apple variety and instead of my usual Goldens I bought some Red Delicious apples because their shiny red color was practically hypnotic (sorry, the snow is dimming my faculties!!).
I’ll list the ingredients I used, but have fun preparing the apple cookies however you like, ok? Let’s go to the kitchen…

Tools APPLE COOKIES RECIPE

#ADV

  • Apple corer
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Preparation APPLE COOKIES RECIPE

  • Wash, dry and core the apple.
    Slice it into pieces about 3/8 inch thick, lightly brush them with lemon juice to prevent browning and place them on the serving plate.

  • In a bowl mix the hazelnut spread with the liquid heavy cream to obtain a smooth, spreadable cream.
    Spread the cream over the apple slices and let your imagination run wild adding the chosen dried fruit, nuts and whatever else you like.

  • The candied ginger I added, for me, is almost mandatory because its little spicy note pairs wonderfully with the creaminess of the apple cookies, but obviously I don’t recommend it for children!

  • I recommend this super easy and tasty snack — it can also be a fun way to make a mess in the kitchen with your kids and grandkids…
    Enjoy your apple cookies!

Tips and notes

I thought of a kind of ganache (cream and chocolate) to add to the apple cookies, but you can use any jam you like, caramel sauce, a slightly firm pastry cream — in short, be creative and let your culinary imagination run wild and it will be a success!!!
