    One of the most popular recipes I've ever published here on the blog is my Apple Cinnamon Bread so I thought it would be fun to create a cookie inspired by it. I took a basic oatmeal cookie recipe and gave it an apple twist to make this delicious Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Cookie recipe.

    What I love about these cookies: they are thick and hearty and have just the right amount of sweetness, they almost taste like a breakfast cookie rather than a dessert cookie. I've toyed with adding extra sugar but it always thins the cookie so it spreads more and I prefer the thick oatmeal texture. The apples are soft and juicy inside and the flavor just screams autumn to me!

    • apples

    • cinnamon
    • butter
    • dark brown sugar
    • eggs
    • vanilla extract
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • flour
    • old fashioned oats
