Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
  • 2. Spread rolled oats and nuts on an ungreased baking sheet and toast until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes; set aside.
  • 3. Combine raisins with water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until the raisins are plumped, about 10 minutes. Drain, discarding liquid, and set aside.
  • 4. Beat sugar, apple butter, eggs, oil and vanilla in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cloves into another bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the apple butter mixture with a spoon. Stir in the reserved oats, nuts and raisins; mix well.
  • 5. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake, one sheet at a time, until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and let cool.

    • I'm so happy that you like my recipe, thanks.Apple butter is essentially a thicker and spicier version of applesauce, traditionally made by slow-cooking. Sliced or pureed apples cooked for up to 12 hours or more. Commercially produced apple butter is generally available in grocery stores.
