1 1/2 cups apple - peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup applesauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large glass or metal bowl, mix applesauce, lemon juice, honey, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Tip: Shake vigorously to mix. Place brown sugar and vanilla into an electric blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Spread into the bottom of a glass or metal mixing bowl. Chill overnight.
When ready to use, mix brown sugar and lemon extract in a 1 cup canning jar.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. Place 1/2 inch from the edge of the rectangle. Roll balls onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
