These muffin cookies were delicious! the apple adds the perfect amount of moisture to the cookie, and just the taste is divine. The texture is one of my favorite parts, i like a softer cookie. Amazing recipes!

I would skip rolling them in cinnamon and sugar and instead frost them with cream cheese frosting and then sprinkle with cinnamon

I made these Apple Cinnamon Muffin Cookies tonight. I substituted the 1/3cup sugar with 1/3cup Monk Fruits. I wanted to cut down on some of the sugar. I also mixed the Cinnamon with Monk Fruit to roll the cookies in. They turned out great.

Correction salt is mentioned , but no amount stated, also it says we will need a knife & doesn't mention when needed. Dough is very sticky, but overall tasty recipe, would make again.
