Applesauce Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These spiced oatmeal raisin cookies are the perfect late night snack. You'll sleep well knowing that you’ve satisfied your craving for sweets with applesauce, not sugar.

Applesauce is the perfect all-natural sweetener when it comes to baking. It adds sweetness as well as much-needed moisture to baked goods, while also providing healthy antioxidants and fiber. Make sure to buy the unsweetened variety applesauce to avoid any unnecessary added sugar.
