These spiced peanut butter cookies are great for fall gatherings. They're crisp on the outside and soft inside. —Marjorie Benson, New Castle, Pennsylvania

Great cookie ! I added a whole cup of diced apples instead of the 1/2 c shredded. Definitely a keeper recipe

These cookies are wonderful. They hold up in mailing as well. I bake them and send them to my grand daughter in Minn. I have to make more than one batch at a time as they are very popular with my family.

Yummy! Like prior reviewers, I also used a whole cup of diced apple. I also experimented and added 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts, and about 1/4 cup of some dried cranberries. I substituted 1/2 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour, and put in a Tlbs of wheat germ. The cookies came out pefectly. I will make these again. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Perfect soft peanut butter cookies. The apple keeps the peanut butter from becoming too overwhelming.

Diced up the apple quite small, used a Granny smith. I added mini chocolate chips to half the batch and these went twice as quick with my gang.

Made these for my family, and they loved them! I was out of peanut butter so I used almond butter instead--gave it a nice different flavor. If you're looking for an easy cookie recipe that's a little unique, I recommend this one! :)

This recipe was soooo good! Super moist, I especially loved the cinnamon in the cookies. The apples were nice touch, i used finely a finely chopped apple instead of grating it. My boyfriend loved them and enjoyed dipping them in a glass of milk. Yum! :))
