I was walking through the aisles of the grocery store, when I see a sign on a box of cookies. It said “grab breakfast by the biscuits” Now this really jumped out at me. Breakfast? Down the cookie aisle? Impossible.

As soon as I payed for my groceries, I rushed home to make my own breakfast-y cookie. You may be thinking “Oh no Cathleen, what did you come up with now?”

I don’t know about you, but I love the flavor of cinnamon in the morning. It warms the cockles of my…stomach. And I approve of cookies at any time of the day.

These Apple Snickerdoodles are perfect for breakfast, snack or dessert. They have fruit in them, so they are healthy…right??

They use your apples PLUS pantry essentials that I think you all probably already have.

One of the ingredients you may not have is nutmeg. I don’t know about you, but I am quite addicted to nutmeg. I love buying it whole and grinding it myself, but I have also had success with this recipe by leaving it out.

Work with what you have on hand!

These cookies sort of remind me of my Apple Pie Cookies, but these ones are topped with cinnamon sugar.

I always have quite a lot of cinnamon sugar left over from these cookies, which I always use to top buttered toast in the morning. Because I can’t STAND food waste!

If these cookies aren’t the best part about fall, I don’t know what is.
