Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups finely diced Granny Smith apples, peeled
1/2 cup rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just incorporated.
Fold in the diced apples and rolled oats gently using a spatula.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Because of the fresh apples, these are best enjoyed within 48 hours for the best texture. Ensure apples are finely diced for a quicker bake.
