Recipe for Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
Today is the perfect day for Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal cookies. Fall is here! It was in the 90's yesterday and today it is only in the 40's. I had to get out my warm clothes out this morning. I am all bundled up!
These cookies are hearty, comforting, and perfect for fall. I used applesauce to replace some of the butter, so they are also healthier than your average cookie:)
I added in all of my favorites: cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, vanilla, diced apples, oatmeal, and cinnamon chips. Our house smelled fabulous while the cookies were baking. I tried one fresh out of the oven and immediately melted. The apple cinnamon cookies were soft, wholesome, and full of fall flavors.
If you are in need of some fall comfort, try these Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal cookies! Plus, an apple a day keeps the Dr. away-even in cookie form:)
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Pinch of fresh nutmeg
Pinch of all spice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 T unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup applesauce
1 apple, diced (I used Granny Smith)
1 1/4 cup oats-not quick cooking
3/4 cup cinnamon chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, all spice, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined.
3. In the bowl of a mixer combine the butter and sugars until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix until combined.
4. With the mixer on low, add in the applesauce and diced apple. Mix until well combined.
5. On low, slowly add in the flour mixture. Don't over mix. Mix just until the flour mixture disappears.
6. Stir in the oats and cinnamon chips. Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet. Place the cookies 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes. When set, transfer them to a cooling rack.

Yum! These look so great. Apples are my favorite fruit. I can't wait to make these...they are perfect for fall.
all kinds of awesome, maria. cinnamon and apples are the quintessential fall ingredients for me, and incorporating them into an oatmeal cookie is great.
Mmm, those look wonderful! You know my favourite cookies are oatmeal - the apple just puts them over the top!

These look so good! I can just taste the fall flavors. I plan to make a bunch of stuff after I go apple picking, so maybe I'll make these too!

I cannot find cinnamon chips anywhere. Where do you get them at?
These cookies look wonderful...wish I could make them.
The temperature is dropping here too. Time to bust out the fall treats! These look beautiful.
I haven't had trouble finding the cinnamon chips in Utah. I buy them at Albertson's or Dan's. They are Hershey's. King Arthur has them too: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/cinnamon-mini-baking-chips-16-oz
Did you use the apples you just picked? They sound wonderful.
I'm about to come into a bunch of apples so I'm eating up (not literally at the moment) everyone's apple recipes so I can figure out what to do with them. Keep 'em coming.
Those do sound yummy and fallish and I have all the stuff to make them and darn, I'm leaving town tomorrow and well, I'll just make them when I get back!
Yum! Those look like the perfect Fall comfort cookies ... especially when it snows in September, right? :p
These really sound delicious. The perfect treat for a brisk fall afternoon treat.
Oh my goodness these sound AMAZING!!!!
Dude, you make such a wicked good oatmeal cookie... I know these are just awesome. Hooray for colder weather, we've been up and down just like Utah lately :)
These look great! I think I need to break down and order cinnamon chips - they look so incrdible here!
My husband would love me even more if I made these cookies for him. I don't bake enough with apples. These look so good!
Great photos! These cookies look amazing.

I bet those are delish!! I love the cinnamon chips in there
Hi
I was wondering did you use sweetened or unsweetened applesauce.
Perfect cookies for fall!
I love those cinnamon chips but can only find them around the holidays. I'm thinking I need to stock up this season! Beautiful cookies with all my favorite stuff in there.
Jackie-good question-I used unsweetened applesauce.
I love cinnamon chips! but i don't like oatmeal.^^..
Have a good one!
Yum! I need to find some cinnamon chips so that I can make these cookies. They look perfect for the cool weather the past few days.

I've never heard of cinnamon chips...ah well, learn something new everyday, huh? But, to be honest, I simply adore those cookies of yours Maria; sings "autumn" to me :-)
Maria, those look fabulous! My husband LOVES oatmeal raisin cookies but they are always just so-so for me. I think these look like a huge winner. Love the bits of apple in there. I will definitely give these a try.
It's working. I swear for many posts I tried to leave comment and couldn't. That's why you haven't heard from me.
it's a good thing i picked up more cinnamon chips! these sound great :)
These sound delicious. I'm bookmarking the recipe to try soon!
I am so glad I saw this before I went to the store...
These sound amazing - I've got a huge box of apples I need to use! Just need to track down those cinnamon chips like several others ;-)
I have a question for you - How do you get the tab above your recipes in the post that allow them to covert to a printable form? I'd love to add that to my blog!

Oh yummy!!! These look soooo good!!! Where do you get cinnamon chips? I've looked in almost all of the stores here, and cannot find them.
OMgosh, those look fantastic!! I love everything you put in them....delcious!
Those are great looking cookies, i cannot wait to make them! YUM
I made apple cinnamon brown sugar oatmeal for breakfast this morning. As I was eating it, I was thinking, "hmmm, I'd love to make this into a cookie!" and a google search ensued. Clearly October is the time for apples! Thanks for the recipe, I can't wait to try it!
What perfect cookies for Fall - love your combo of oatmeal, apples, and cinnamon chips!
These cookies look so good cinnamon, oatmeal and with apples too Mmmmmmmmmm!
These sound awesome! I love apples and cinnamon together but I don't think I've had them in cookie form!
Fantastic idea - apple cookies! I'm thinking of ways to make nice comforting apple treats these days. Autumn can be really nice when you can cuddle up inside with anything baked fresh from the oven!
You are a genius!!! I am in LOVE with these cookies! Made some the other day and they are so unique and FABULOUS!!! Thank you!
Ooo - LOVE the addition of cinnamon chips! Cinnamon chip scones from Starbucks are one of my most favorite things!
These sound fabulous! Just yesterday I was raiding the archives of Eating Well online and had added apple cinnamon muffins to the list of possibilities, but I've always been better at cookies... I have one quick question though: what are cinnamon chips? As in shaved cinnamon stick pieces, rather than ground?
