How to Make Apple Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until well combined. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granola clusters.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 cup peeled and diced apples.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough onto a baking sheet. Roll each cookie ball in granulated sugar.
- Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each cookie to create a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. (They will firm up as they cool).
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
