Lithuanian apple cookies are moist and amazing treats. They are not too sweet and after eating a hearty Lithuanian meal, it made for the perfect ending. Lithuanians love to add sour cream to just about everything and these delightful cookies are no exception. I suppose that is what makes them so moist, along with the apples of course. Apples grow in the cold Lithuanian climate so an appropriate dessert to end with. You can use any apple you like, for this recipe I used the Granny Smith and we loved it!
