Who Doesn't Like Apples and Peanut Butter?..... Vegan Apple & Peanut Butter Cookies

Forget those peanut butter cookies that you have been making for years.  It's time to try something new!  And, who doesn't like the combination of apples and peanut butter anyway?  What I especially enjoyed about these cookies were that they were not overly sweet.  And, the use of oats also throws a bit of a twist on peanut butter cookies as well.

I decided to add apples, for one, because I don't think I have ever had apple pieces in a cookie and thought that it was a funky idea.  But also because we have these huge, delicious Michigan apples that were screaming out at me; eat me! eat me!
