Grab a taste of Autumn with these chewy Apple Oatmeal Cookies. Fresh Apple, hearty oatmeal and just a touch of cinnamon make this a perfect dessert for the Fall.

Every Fall, we take my kids to the apple orchard. It is one of my favorite things to do with them. There is just something about the cool, clear air, the corn field mazes and the ripe, fresh apples that I absolutely love. We have been going for so long, that I know in advance that we will be sure to buy WAY too many apples.

Having all these extra apples always poses the same question: what to make with apples? For instance, I’ve got a recipe for these Apple Cinnamon Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting and also this Fresh Caramel Apple Salad. But, my husband and my kids love cookies more than just about anything in the world, so I thought that it would be fun to post an Apple Oatmeal Cookies Recipe.

Apple Oatmeal Cookies

I think that Oatmeal Cookies are often overlooked in the “cookie world”. They just always have the greatest texture and are so super moist! It’s funny, if I see an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie along with any other cookies, I will usually overlook it and pick one of the other ones. I have no idea why… I always love a good Oatmeal Raisin Cookie every time I have one! So, the idea of adding fresh apples and cinnamon into the mix was very intriguing to me. These Apple Oatmeal Cookies are perfect for these months later in the year when the weather starts to get a little colder and we take our sweaters out of storage. They would go great with a cup of warm tea or some nice hot coffee!
