Steps to make Apple Softies With Icing:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Be careful not to burn them.
- Let stand or refrigerate until cooled to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly stir together flour, baking soda, and salt.

- Add the egg yolk and beat until evenly incorporated.
- Gently beat in half of the flour mixture.
- Add the cooled apple mixture and beat until well blended.
- Stir in the remaining flour mixture until evenly incorporated.

- Spoon the icing into a pastry bag, a paper cone, or a baggie with a small hole cut into the corner.
