- The first step is turning your apple cider into apple cider syrup. It’s really easy to do. Just add it to a small saucepan and heat it until bubbling. Continue to heat over medium-low for about 20 minutes or so until it has reduced into about 1/4 cup of liquid. It will turn into a consistency similar to maple syrup.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl. In another bowl, combine the butter and sugars. Then add eggs and apple cider syrup. Then stir in chopped apple.
- Scoop the dough into balls. Roll the balls of dough in a mixture of sugar and apple pie spice. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10 or 11 minutes.
Recipe Tips:
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature.
- If you have accidentally reduced the apple cider too long and you don’t have 1/4 cup… it’s okay to add in a little bit of apple cider to compensate for what is missing.
- Don’t over mix the batter. Stir in the flour (don’t use the mixer).
- You can refrigerate the dough if you’d like (but it’s not necessary).
- Don’t over bake the cookies. Bake for 10 minutes, and then check them. They should be light in color.
Storage Instructions:
Apple snickerdoodles may be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They also freeze well. Freeze in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Can you use apple juice in place of apple cider?
Yes! If you are not able to locate apple cider, it’s okay to use apple juice to make these apple cider snickerdoodles. It will reduce in the same way that you’re reducing the apple cider- boiling down to a syrup consistency.
