Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Nikoli's Kitchen! This week... we fail. I'm going to talk a lot about how much I failed in the kitchen this past week and what that has taught me- and how even when we fail (or succeed) we should never stop trying to better ourselves. Stay tuned to hear how my attempts at French bread and a French Dip sandwich turned out, and then in the featured recipe, we talk about Apple Cinnamon Cookies! Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me.

Featured Recipe for this Episode
3 c apples, finely chopped
2 T white sugar
lemon juice
1/2 c chopped pecans if desired
1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c white sugar
1 c dark brown sugar
3 eggs
3/4 t vanilla extract
2-1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 t baking soda
2 t baking powder
1 t salt
1 T cinnamon
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1/4 t ground allspice
cloves to taste
1/2 c light brown sugar (set aside)
Preheat oven to 375°.
Finely chop the apples and add to a bowl with the 2 T white sugar to draw out some of the water. Squeeze the lemon juice into them to prevent browning. Set aside and let sit for an hour or two (or more- mine sat for 3-4 hours while I made other cookies and were fine).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated.
Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices into a separate bowl and whisk to combine.
Drain the water off the apples and combine the apples, the wet mixture, the dry mixture, and nuts (if desired) in a large bowl.
Scoop the dough into roughly ball-shaped clumps and roll in the light brown sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 10-13 minutes or until set and just starting to brown on the top.
Remove and allow to cool.
