This came to my inbox today, and since it's almost apple season here in the Northeastern US I thought I'd share it! The descriptions says, This is a moist and cake like, spicy, nutty, apple cookie. I can't wait to try it! The recipe is from Aunt Mikie , although I added my own touches. If you make it with the soy milk and unsalted margarine it's lactose-free!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup unsalted margarine, softened
