Glazed Apple Spice Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.

In a bowl, toss green apple with brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and apple pie spice until the apple pieces are evenly coated. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix salted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.

Beat in eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until combined.

Mix in baking powder, baking soda, apple pie spice, and cinnamon, then slowly add all-purpose flour and mix just until a dough forms.

Fold the coated apple mixture into the dough until evenly distributed.

Scoop the dough into about 10 large cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops start to turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool for about 20 minutes.

While the cookies cool, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and apple pie spice with water a little at a time until the glaze is thick but still dip-able, like a thin glue consistency.

Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the glaze, then let the glaze harden for about 10 minutes before serving.
