In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together egg, almond butter, and apple butter.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, apple pie spice, and baking soda. Whisk until everything is evenly distributed and no clumps remain.
Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients with a spatula.
Cover the cookie dough and let it chill in the fridge for at least one hour or in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together coconut sugar and apple pie spice for the sugar coating.
Use a cookie scoop to roll the cookie dough into balls.
Roll the cookie dough balls around in the apple pie spice and sugar mix.
Place the cookie dough balls on the parchment paper and flatten them with your hands and make them into round-shaped cookies.
Bake for about 9-11 minutes or until the top of the cookies crack a little bit. Do not overbake.
Let them cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
Enjoy!

Notes
Make sure your oven temperature is accurate. Most ovens don’t reach the targeted temperature until at least 10 minutes after the “beep” sound. I like using an oven thermometer to be certain the oven is ready.
I like to use smooth and drizzly almond butter and my homemade apple butter. The cookie texture may vary slightly depending on the brands you choose to use.
Measure the coconut flour and almond flour carefully. A kitchen scale gives the most consistent results.
How to Store:Once completely cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for a week.You can also freeze apple butter cookies for up to 3 months. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag with parchment paper between the layers to prevent them from sticking together. Let frozen cookies thaw at room temperature before enjoying.*Note: the spiced sugar coating may begin to dissolve into the cookies after a day or two. That's completely normal and won't affect the flavor.
