Chocolate Chip Cookies - With Fruit!

My son professes to hate fruit. He'll eat some fruit, like watermelon. But mostly he likes to talk about fruit, and how much he does not like it. As a result, I have turned to finding creative ways to include fruit in his diet. Turns out chocolate chip cookies can be well received even if they contain fruit! And since we still have plenty of apples to use here at our house... Here are the recipes that have met with favour:
