Time 50m

Yield 16 bars, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1 1/3 cups light brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 -5 firm cooking apples

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, making sure the edges extend over the edges of the pan for easy removal. Place prepared pan in the freezer.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in the oats and sugar. In a separate small bowl, stir together the melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Mix liquid mixture into the oat mixture.
  • Press half of the dough into the prepared pan. Set aside.
  • Place the remaining dough between two 15-inch lengths of wax paper. Roll out into a 9×13-inch rectangle. Slide a flat cookie sheet under the dough and wax paper and transfer it to the freezer for a few minutes.
  • Peel, quarter and core the apples. Cut each quarter lengthwise into five or six slices. Place the apple slices in rows, each slice slightly overlapping the last, on top of the bottom layer of dough.
  • Remove the rolled-out rectangle from the freezer. Peel off the top piece of paper and turn the dough over the apples. Remove the remaining paper and press down on the edges of the dough to seal it.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan. Lift cake out using the edges of the foil and cut into squares or bars. Maida says that chilling makes the bars easier to cut and also that they freeze well!

There are a great filled cookie like ones my grandmother made. I use my homemade apple butter for filling, but, as I remember, my grandmother filled them with other types of fruit jam. My kids loved to take these in their school lunches! Make sure to include chilling time for dough!

Tips:

  • Use a sturdy spoon. Johnny Appleseed Cookies are a dough that is quite thick and sticky. Make sure to use a sturdy spoon to mix the dough, as a flimsy spoon may bend or break.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm it up and make it easier to handle. This will also help the cookies to keep their shape better in the oven.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Johnny Appleseed Cookies are best when they are slightly soft and chewy in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Enjoy the cookies warm or at room temperature. Johnny Appleseed Cookies are delicious when they are warm from the oven, but they are also good at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Johnny Appleseed Cookies are a classic American cookie that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with different types of nuts and dried fruits. These cookies are a great way to use up leftover applesauce and oats. They are also a delicious and festive treat for the holidays.
