01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a big bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with the cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mash together the butter, demerara sugar, and brown sugar until everything is well blended and creamy. Then, mix in the apple butter until smooth.

Step 2
Next, add the eggs, vanilla, and apple juice to the butter mixture and stir until everything is combined. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, about a third of a cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Once the dough comes together, fold in the oats and chopped apple.

Step 3
Using two teaspoons, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for around 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and set in the middle. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to serve
Serve these with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance their dessert appeal. They also pair wonderfully with hot apple cider or a spiced latte for a cozy snack.
