These Apple Pie Medallions are yet another variation of my coconut cookies. They are light and moist and taste like apple pie! Especially when you get a bite of apple.
Apple Pie Medallions Coconut Cookies
- 1 Red Delicious apple weighing ~6-3/8 ounce, once peeled, cored and diced = 1 cup apple
- 1/2 cup and 1 Tablespoon Tropical Traditions Gold Label Organic Virgin Coconut Oil**
- 1/2 cup Bob’s Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour
- 1/2 cup honey [affiliate link]
- 3 large eggs [affiliate link]
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla [affiliate link]
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon [affiliate link]
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg [affiliate link]
Peel and core apple. Saute in 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil [affiliate link] over medium heat for 11 minutes or until soft and lightly browned. Stir frequently.
Sift the coconut flour [affiliate link] to remove any lumps. Measure one half cup of coconut flour and go ahead and pat it down (you don’t want it to measure fluffy just from sifting or you will have much less flour than in my recipe), and use a knife to scrape across the top of the measuring cup. I have learned with coconut flour you really need to get precise measurements (I should begin weighing for best accuracy). Add to a medium sized mixing bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients (except for the apples) into the bowl with the coconut flour. Use a mixer and blend until thoroughly mixed. Allow to set five minutes so that coconut flour can absorb the moisture. Once again this is a very moist batter.
Add the sauteed apples to the batter and mix.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Drop by measured tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet.
Oil your fingers with coconut oil and lightly pat each dropped shape into a small round cookie.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until cookies lose their shiny appearance and are firm to the touch.
Yields: 30 cookies

These are my new measuring scoops: Good Cook 4-Piece Measuring Scoop Set.
The cheap stainless measuring cups broke at the handle and that became quite annoying, hence my investment in these professional grade stainless steel measuring cups some time ago: Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set #8440
Unfortunately, I’m not the only one that likes to use my nice stainless steel measuring cups… my sons think they are dipping bowls or drinking vessels since when it’s time for me to cook I am rarely able to locate the entire set. I’m hoping these scoops will not be as tempting as the stainless steel ones have been.
