I don't bake much. But I do love peanut butter. And this cookie brings together peanut butter and apples two things I almost always have on hand. What's not to love. It's from a cookbook I had when I was a kid. I can still picture the cover in my head. I think my mom still has it in her cupboard. I should see what else is in there since I still love these after all this time. Hmm, I wonder if they are considered a whole grain cookie?
Apple-Peanut Butter Cookies
3/4 c peanut butter
1/4 c butter
2 c brown sugar
---
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
---
1 c flour
1 c wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
---
1 c oatmeal
1 med apple, peeled, chopped (~1 cup)
Mix all ingredients together (using the lines above as mixing points before adding the next set of ingredients). You'll probably have to stir by hand when you get to the point of adding oatmeal & apple. It's really thick & heavy at that point but the apples add a lot of moisture during the baking. Form into 1 inch balls and slightly pat down. Bake 12-14 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet in 350 degree oven.
These are best the day you bake them. Don't seal up leftovers too tight because the apple will continue to soften the cookie.

Thats funny, I was just googling no sugar, apple, pb, oat balls. I found a chocolate, pb one that I'm trying and if its good you'll see it here. But your cookies sound so good. Maybe I'll scrap the balls and go for these cookies instead.
Yesterday I was eating some Do-si-do girlscout cookies and that made me think of these apple-peanut butter cookies...which is why I posted the recipe. But I googled Do-si-do cookies and found this which I want to try: http://bakingbites.com/2008/01/homemade-girl-scout-cookies-do-si-dos/
