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

These cookies are wonderful! I started with 1/4 c butter and 1/4 c shortening rather than all shortening, which worked beautifully. I also chopped the apples into tiny pieces rather than grated. I have definitely added this recipe to my book.

Delicious! Was not sure if the cinnamon was going to taste good with the peanut butter, but the flavors were great together! Will DEFINITELY be making these often!

Next time I would finely chop the apples instead of grating them. Didn't seem to have quite enough apple flavor!

I love the combination of apples and peanut butter so I was excited to see discover this recipe. I decided to try the suggested method of using small chopped apple pieces instead of grated apple and I was happy with the texture and the flavor of the cookies. I will definitely make these again.

This is a very welcome recipe in my home! I was looking for something new to try. I used extra chunky peanut butter. The cookies were fabulous!

I liked these soft cookies, but thought they were too sweet. I will reduce the white sugar next time. I used a gala apple and chopped up about 3/4 C. I baked one batch 10 mins and they were pale and tended to fall apart. The next batched was baked 12-13 minutes and turned out a nice golden brown and had a better flavor and texture. I used real butter for the shortening. Yummo.
