Apple Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal Apple Cookies are chewy and satisfying. Bits of tart baked apple are the perfect companion to a spiced oatmeal cookie base. They’re the best cold-weather cookie that can be enjoyed anytime.

Notes

  • These will spread quite a bit, so make sure not to overcrowd your cookie sheet!
  • Use one type of oatmeal if you prefer. I like the mix of chewier rolled oats and small quick oats that disappear into your cookie.
  • Use fresh ground nutmeg for an even bolder flavor. 
  • To make these dairy-free, use vegan margarine in place of butter.
