A Cozy Afternoon Baking Tradition
There is nothing quite like the comforting aroma of apples and cinnamon filling the house on a chilly afternoon. In many Dutch kitchens, turning to a trusted Koopmans baking mix is the easiest way to whip up a batch of homemade treats that make your weekend *koffietijd* feel extra special.
These apple cookies strike the ideal balance between soft, fruit-filled bites and a crisp cinnamon-sugar crust. Whether you are baking with family on a rainy day or setting out a warm plate for guests, it is a wonderful taste of home that always hits the spot.
How to Prepare Your Apple Cookies
What you need:
- 1 packet Koopmans Apple Cookie Mix (370g)
- 2 medium apples (like Elstar or Jonagold)
- 150g butter (softened)
- 1 egg
- Included cinnamon-sugar mix
Preparation steps:
- Prep the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Dough: Combine the baking mix, softened butter, and egg in a bowl. Knead gently until a smooth dough forms, then fold in the diced apples.
- Shape & Coat: Form small mounds or rounds of dough, roll them lightly in the provided cinnamon-sugar mix, and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool slightly before digging in!
