Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup finely diced apples (about 1 medium apple)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are well blended.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.

          Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the diced apples, nuts, and raisins or dried cranberries (if using) until evenly distributed.

            Scoop Cookies: Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and a little firm to the touch.

                Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Apple Oat Snack Cookies warm or at room temperature with a cup of tea or coffee!
