Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time for reflection, renewal, and celebration. It is also a time for enjoying traditional foods that symbolize sweetness and abundance for the year ahead. One such traditional food is apples, which are often eaten with honey to signify a sweet new year. This year, why not try a healthier twist on this classic combination with delicious allulose-sweetened apple cookies?
Allulose is a rare sugar that is naturally found in small quantities in wheat, figs, and raisins. It has the same taste and texture as sugar but with only 10% of the calories. Allulose is also low on the glycemic index, meaning it has minimal impact on blood sugar levels, making it a great alternative for those watching their sugar intake.
These allulose-sweetened apple cookies are a delightful treat for Rosh Hashanah or any occasion, offering a healthier twist on a traditional favorite. Enjoy the sweet and spicy flavors in each bite, and celebrate the new year with this delicious dessert.
Yield: 16 cookies
3/4 cup Smart Balance
1/2 cup Health Garden Coconut Sugar
1/4 cup Health Garden Allulose
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
50 grams (1.75 ounces) freeze-dried apples
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 cup apple cider
1/4 cup Health Garden Allulose
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, add the Smart Balance and microwave for up to one minute until almost fully melted. Add the sugars and whisk for 30 seconds.
Add the baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
Crack in the egg and whisk for 60 seconds until well blended and shiny.
Pulse the freeze-dried apples into a powder using a food processor or high-speed blender, or place in a freezer bag, seal it, and mash the apples with the bottom of a measuring cup for a chunkier/chewier consistency.
Add the flour and ground/mashed apples, and stir until well mixed with a rubber spatula. You can finish mixing by using your hands and kneading about three to four times.
Create scoops out of 2 tablespoons dough with a spoon or cookie scooper, roll them between your palms, and place them on the baking sheet two inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up. Press them down with the bottom of a measuring cup quickly when they come out of the oven.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before glazing. For the glaze, mix confectioners’ sugar with apple cider until desired consistency, or use Allulose and cinnamon for a sweet topping. Add to a piping bag and drizzle over the cookies in a zig-zag pattern.
