Apple Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

 * 1 cup spelt or whole wheat flour
 * 1 cup rolled oats (oatmeal), ground
 * 1½ cups raisins, seedless
 * 2 apples
 * 1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions

 * 1) Preheat your oven to 350°F. (175°C.)
 * 2) Place the spelt, or whole wheat flour, and the ground rolled oats (oatmeal) in a bowl and mix together. (The rolled oats can be ground in a blender on high speed. Be sure that the container is dry before grinding.)
 * 3) Add the cinnamon and mix.
 * 4) Add 1 cup of the raisins and mix well to ensure that the raisins are separated and each one is coated with the flour mixture.
 * 5) Wash the apples and cut into quarter sections.
 * 6) Remove and discard the cores.
 * 7) Place apple sections in the blender container.
 * 8) Add the remaining ½ cup of raisins and blend at high speed until all the raisins are thoroughly ground and blended with the apples.
 * 9) Add the pureed apples and raisins to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly with a stiff spatula or spoon.
 * 10) If the cookie dough is too stiff, you may add another pureed apple or a little apple juice. A thinner dough will make a flatter cookie. A stiff dough will make irregular thick cookies like the ones shown in the photo.
 * 11) On a non-stick or lightly oiled baking sheet, place the cookie dough in twelve equal sized "mounds."
 * 12) Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
 * 13) Various ovens bake differently, so we suggest that you begin checking the cookies after 15 and 20 minutes of baking.
 * 14) When the Apple Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Cookies are baked, remove from the oven, cool, and enjoy.
