Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened (4 oz or one stick)

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup milk

2 cups flour

1 egg

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups chopped apple

Glaze:

1 tablespoon melted butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring

3 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cream butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light in color, about 1-2 minutes. Add egg and milk; stir to combine. Add remaining dry ingredients (except apple) and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the apples. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet.

Bake at 400 for about 10-12 min or until tops don't look wet anymore.

To make the glaze, whisk together all glaze ingredients in a small bowl. When the cookies have cooled for a few minutes, drizzle each cookie with glaze.

Makes about 1 1/2 dozen.
