Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup finely diced Granny Smith apples (peeled)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until smooth.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, then fold in the oats and diced apples until just incorporated.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to set.
Notes
Storage: Keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For long-term storage, freeze the dough balls before baking.
