Mrs. Bean’s Nutmeg Ginger Apple Snaps

Ever seen a fictional cookie in a movie and decided you needed to try it? That’s how to feel whenever I watch Fantatsic Mr. Fox. I had some extra SweeTango’s lying around though (rare occurance because I usually eat them too quickly) and decided to finally give it a try and they turned out delicious!
