This originally started as an apple cake recipe. But I worked it into a recipe for cookies and have been making them this way ever since. It's a nice way to feature fall's delicious produce.

Were somewhat dry, just add a little more milk. Turned out very soft. Excellent fall snack.

Even though the cookies turned out really yummy, I had a hard time stirring the dough and found I had to add a bit more.

These cookies are excellent! I used butter instead of the butter-flavored shortening. The cookies came out very soft.

Mine came out very dry. They fell apart when you picked them up, I thought they could have been a lot more moist.

I live in apple country and made these last fall. My very picky children loved them. I make them all the time.
