  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies).
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended).
  8. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into 1-inch balls.
