I substituted 1/4 cup butter and 3 TBSP coconut oil for the shortening. I did not have crunchy peanut butter so I chopped up a handful of peanuts and stirred them in with the apple. The house smells wonderful after baking these.

My hubby is known as the cookie monster and he loves these.

I make small cookies so I can have 2. If you use a bigger scoop it will only make about 2 1/2 dozen.

In a large bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and vanilla.
Combine the dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in apple.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheet 2 inches apart. They will spread.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks.
