Uncover the Delight of Sourdough Apple Pie Cookies: A Local Baker's Twist

Discover the Magic of Sourdough Apple Pie Cookies

There's something truly special about discovering a delightful new twist on a classic recipe. Kimball Roundy, a passionate baker and creator at Liberty Farms, is doing just that with his innovative take on cookies. Inspired by Grandma Roundy's beloved banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, Kimball has crafted a new sensation: Sourdough Apple Pie Cookies. This long-fermented treat is a testament to the creativity and skill of local bakers who push boundaries to make something extraordinary.

The Art of Long Fermentation

Long fermentation is not just a technique; it's an art form that enhances both flavor and digestibility. By incorporating sourdough starter into the cookie dough, Kimball has managed to create a unique offering that is a treat for both the taste buds and the tummy. This method breaks down the wheat, making the cookies more digestible, a crucial factor for those who are gluten intolerant. It's a perfect example of how local bakers are innovating with traditional methods to bring something new to the table.

Transforming Classics with Sourdough

The journey of transforming Grandma Roundy's classic recipe into these apple pie cookies involved swapping bananas for apples and adding a dash of apple pie spice. The result? A cookie that captures the essence of apple pie with the comforting familiarity of an oatmeal cookie. Kimball’s experiment even led him to add a frosting glaze, elevating the cookies to a new level of deliciousness.
