Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Cookies

Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Cookies are the perfect snack for fall (or anytime) Hearty, thick and flavored with apples and cinnamon.

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!
