Healthy Ginger Snaps With Caramel Apples
- FOR THE CARAMEL SAUCE:
- 1/2 cups Coconut Sugar
- 2-1/2 Tablespoons Grass Fed Butter
- 1/4 cups Full-fat Coconut Milk
- FOR THE COOKIES:
- 1/4 cups Coconut Oil, Melted
- 1 cup Coconut Sugar, Plus Additional For Rolling
- 1 Large Egg White
- 2 Tablespoons Molasses, Plus 2 Teaspoons
- 1-1/2 cup Finely Ground Almond Meal, Plus 1 Tablespoon (5.4 Ounces)
- 1/4 cups Coconut Flour, Sifted, .08 Ounces Or 22 Grams
- 1-3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 Tablespoons Ground Ginger
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 cups Dried Apples, Lightly Packed And Diced
- For the caramel sauce:
- In a large pan over medium heat, combine the caramel sauce ingredients and stir until smooth and well mixed. Bring to boil and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and immediately refrigerate to let the sauce cool and thicken up more.
- For the cookies:
- In a large bowl, beat together the melted coconut oil and coconut sugar, just until sugar is moistened. Add egg white and molasses and beat again until smooth and well mixed.
- Add remaining ingredients (except apple) into the bowl and stir until a sticky dough forms. Add diced apple and stir until evenly dispersed into the dough. Place bowl into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make it easier to roll.
- Once chilled, preheat oven to 350u0b0F and line 2 cookies sheets with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Additionally, pour some coconut sugar into a shallow plate with sides.
- Roll dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and then roll into the coconut sugar. Place onto prepared cookie sheet and lightly press to slightly flatten the ball out. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake until edges are lightly golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Note that they set up a lot while cooling. Let cool on the pan completely. Once cooled, drizzle the chilled caramel sauce and devour.
- Note: Store cookies in the refrigerator so that the caramel can harden and not get messy if you want to stack them in a container.
