Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add applesauce and almond flour. Stir until almond flour is completely incorporated and evenly mixed in.
Using a 1 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough balls and place onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand until it forms a thick round disk. Smooth the edges with your fingers as needed.
Bake cookies about 15-18 minutes or until edges turn a medium brown. Let cookies cool fully on cookie sheet before removing.
Notes
This is a very basic low sugar snack cookie. It has some sweetness but is not very sweet. You can enjoy them as they are but you can also dress the cookies up for more flavors and textures. See post for more variation ideas.
I used sweetened applesauce. You can use unsweetened, but your cookies will have almost no sweetness. Even using sweetened applesauce, the cookies are only lightly sweetened.
Applesauce is usually sold in 4 oz snack cup containers. If using store-bought applesauce, you just need one 4 oz container. 4 oz refers to weight, not volume.
