Apple pie screams “FALL SEASON!” And snickerdoodles are a classic holiday treat. Instead of going for the same old cookie, I decided to combine these two awesome classics into one, super soft, ultra flavorful cookie! I’ve done Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Roll Cookies, and a fun Snickerdoodle Banana Bread Muffin, but never anything quite like these! They are a super soft and moist cookie, and super simple to make.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups apple (peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons + about a 1/2 cup Apple pie spice (or make your own- 3-4x this recipe: 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon allspice)
- 1/2 cup sugar
MAKE THEM:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In your mixer, cream the shortening, sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Alternate adding dry mixture with greek yogurt to the batter.
Cut apples and coat with 2 tablespoons flour + 2 tablespoons apple pie spice.
Fold apples into batter.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of batter per cookie. I use my medium cookie scoop.
Mix 1/2 cup apple pie spice + sugar until well combined.
Roll in the apple pie spice/sugar mixture until well coated.
Place a couple inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, then pull out of oven and let sit another minute before transferring to cookie rack to cool.

These cookies look delicious.
I like the flavors in these cookies. Do the apples stay crisp or get cooked down?
Sounds good and tasty
Woo-hoo! Could I possibly save these for myself and not share them out? LOL! It would be tempting, right? But I know the family will love these. Pinned & planned. Thanks!
HAHA! Impossible!
Two of my favorite things in one. They look so good!
Thanks so much, Dana!

Very nice fall cookies.
These snickerdoodles sound heavenly! I’m going to try to make some this weekend.
I like the way these look after rolling them in the spice mix.
Apple Pie Snickerdoodles would be such a fun and tasty treat for my family or to bring to a party.
The combo of apple pie and snickerdoodles sounds like a winner!
Snickerdoodles are some of my favorite cookies. The addition of apples is a good idea.
Tomorrow’s high will be 14 degrees. Just right to stay home and make these yummy cookies.
When I was young, My grandma used to make Snickerdoodle cookies ???? for us. Then she moved away. I made the cookies a couple of times. Eventually, life took over and I got extremely busy. I have forgotten about my grandma’s Snickerdoodles. That’s why I am pinning this recipe and I will make it. Thank you for sharing and reminding me of a childhood memory of mine ????
