1 Line a sheet pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey, vanilla, and egg until combined.
3 Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until no dry spots remain. With a spoon or spatula, stir in the apples, oats, cheddar, and raisins, if using, until evenly distributed. The mixture will be sticky and a little loose.
4 Scoop 1/4 cup portions (about 60g) and using your hands, shape into rounds approximately 3/4 inch thick (like forming a burger). Arrange the cookies on the sheet pan. You should have 13. They will not spread, and can be baked close together.
5 Bake for 16 to 18 minutes. The edges will have begun to brown, and there will be a sizzling sound. Check the bottom of one of the cookies: there should be visible browning. They will be soft, but will firm up as they cool. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before eating. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
