Are you guys enjoying Applicious Week so far?
Everyone has done a great job so far with some yummy recipes.
How would you like to have some cookies today???
I have some toffee apple pie cookies with your name written all over them.
Come on over and we will sit and chit chat while we munch.
There are the perfect fall treat to snack on with a hot cup of coffee.
Soft bites of apple, little taste of graham cracker, and the sweet crunch of toffee.
All in one little sweet cookie.
And because they have fresh Crunch Pak apples in them, I consider these a perfect breakfast food.
Kind of like a flat muffin:-)
Do you want to know what I liked best about these cookies?
Well, besides the fact that they were laden with good tasting stuff.
They stayed soft for almost an entire week.
I kept them in a very tightly sealed container and
5 days later they tasted just as good as the day I baked them.
Although I’m wishing I had thrown them in the freezer right away for lunches,
because I can’t seem to stop eating them.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack…yup I’ve had cookies for all of them:-)
Have you had a chance to check out our Crunchpak giveaway from Sunday?
Go ahead and read about it HERE.
Lots of goodies from Crunch Pak and a few from Aimee and I

Here are some of the other Applicious goodies that have been shared today:

Hey girl! These look so yummy. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such sweet comments. I always thought that you took the best photos of your food. They could be in magazines. LOL! Hope you are doing well. Hugs!
Thanks you are the sweetest:-) Maybe a magazine one day…my fingers are crossed!!!
I love that you used 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs in them AND that they stayed soft a week later! A nice dose of brown sugar I find does that and these look….awesome!
I was so excited that they stayed soft for that long. And the graham cracker crumbs was just perfect!!!
I would love 1 (or 4) of these for breakfast – they look perfectly amazing!!

These are gorgeous Jocelyn. If you have a cookbook can you give me a signed copy
You’re on your way! YUM.
You will get the first one when it happens:-)
Oooh, those are just full of yummy ingredients. They must be super yummy!
Toffee! And apples! In a cookie! Do the excessive exclamation points tell you how awesome these look?!?!!!
Cookies that are made for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack, are the right kind of cookie for ME!
These even look super soft! LOVE! And I agree with Aimee–I’d SO buy one of your cookbooks!
You girls are the best blog friends ever…I heart all of you:-)
I looooove that you used graham cracker crumbs to these cookies. Not only does that remind me of apple pie (!!) but with that added toffee twist and I’m officially drooling
and that’s awesome that they stay soft a week later, though I don’t think they’d ever make it that long here! Loving this Apple-themed week, girlies!
Looks great! How fun that you’re all doing this together!
What a great cookie! I’m SO in love with these!
yum! I’ve been waiting for you to post these Jocelyn! LOVE the graham crackers hiding in the dough. Toffee and apples are a combination I have yet to try in a cookie!
The graham cracker crumbs in the dough is the perfect touch…totally like eating pie! You must try toffee and apple together…best cookie ever!!!
You can’t trick me. That’s not breakfast.

You’re so sweet to wrap that stack up for me! I might just have to make these for Grace’s bake sale this week! Toffee, apples, white chocolate, graham crackers, what’s not to love about these. You know I had to Pin them!
These are great looking cookies
I love the idea of using apples in cookies, and I’d like to try these
Pinned
The apple in it helps give the cookie such a soft texture. You should definitely try it sometime.
These cookies sound delicious! I especially love the presentation with the baker’s twine. I would love it if you would stop by and share at Lines Across. I hope to see you soon,

Can I use Applesauce instead of real Apples?
I know that you can substitute 1/4 c. applesauce for 1 egg. You could do that in this recipe and then just leave out the apple chunks too. I wouldn’t add any more applesauce because it will affect the texture of the cookies.
These look incredible!!!
Hi! I’m a new follower!
I’d like to invite you to check out my blog- Earning-My-Cape, and to link up to my Super Link Party on Wednesdays!
I hope to see you there!
So funny– I just pinned this post and then lo & behold, I hopped over to Tip Junkie and there it is again. I guess that’s a sign that I MUST make these cookies.
It is definitely a sign that these cookies need to be in your kitchen STAT:-)
oh man, Jocelyn… these cookies look great!
Seriously delicious!
I’d love it if you would link this (and a couple other recipes if you’d like) up to Wonderful Food Wednesday at: http://www.athometake2.com. I hope you can stop by.

Loving the photography, so colorful and vivid!
I made these this afternoon after finding the recipe on Pinterest. They are yummy…even without the white chocolate frosting! Mine came out kinda flat and not sure why. Thanks for the recipe that really tastes like fall!
I am so glad to hear that you made them and love the taste. You could refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes next time…that will help them not spread so much.
These look so good. I have a link party on Wednesdays, and I would love it if you would link this and any other posts. It is called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Link Party. It runs from Wednesday to Sundays.

These look awesome. I was really drawn to them when I saw them at Tidy mom’s link up party. They sound delicious too. I love apples in anything.
Thank you:-) Apples in anything just gives such a great texture and taste!!
Wow! These are a must try right now! I love the toffee and apple combo. Delicious. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes each week with my readers

Jocelyn, What a great recipe! They sound amazing! Thanks so much for entering this last week in the Iron Chef Mom link-up/contest for Apples on Cheerios and Lattes! We are so glad you could make it! We look forward to your chocolate recipes this week!

Taking a batch of these with me to my aunt in Florida (we are in Ohio) They are so unique good and really do stay soft for days. I’m sure they’ll travel well….if they make it that far. lol
I made these this weekend just to try them out…amazing! I suggest keeping them in the oven for maybe 15 minutes tops! I did 12 and they were a bit gooey (still delish!) I will definitely be making them for thanksgiving and bringing them over to my boyfriend’s family’s house! (That’s how you know they’re good…they are good enough to show off to the boyfriends family LOL) Love them! Thank you for the recipe!!
I am glad you loved the recipe that much:-) Every oven is different so I’m guessing that is why the difference in time. Although I kind of like gooey centers:-)
I found this recipe on Pinterest and made a double batch for a cookie exchange I attended yesterday. Absolutely delicious and highly addictive! Thanks so much for sharing – I will definitely be making these again.
It makes me so happy to hear how much you liked them…thank you for sharing with me:-)
