Recipe by: The New Dr. Cookie Cookbook Preheat oven to 375 degrees; coat 2 cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the shredded apple, apple juice, granulated sugar and cranberries; set aside. Beat the egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract and oil with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the apple mixture and stir it into the batter by hand. Add the flours, cereal, baking powder, baking soda and pie spice; stir into the batter by hand. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to absorb all of the liquid. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Repeat until all of the cookies are baked. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B). Nutrition Analysis: 48 calories, 1.2g fat. -----
