Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup light brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. Step 4: Gradually stir the dry oat mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in 1 cup finely diced peeled apple.
  5. Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set but still soft.
  6. Step 6: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
