COCONUT FLOUR:

GROUND CINNAMON:

• Ground cinnamon provides the traditional apple fritter flavor and warmth. It goes well with apple extract for a genuine taste.

GROUND NUTMEG:

• It enhances the flavor of the spiced apple and gives depth with ground nutmeg. Don’t add too much cinnamon as small amount is enough.

UNSALTED BUTTER:

ERYTHRITOL:

EGGS:

• The egg gives the dough structure and holds it together. It also aids in chewiness of cookies.

VANILLA EXTRACT:
