Apple Doodles
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 3-1/2 dozen.
This apple doodle recipe originally started as an apple cake. 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. —Cecilia Lorraine Ruiz, Sunnyvale, California
