Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies.

Whole wheat flour – We used whole wheat flour in this recipe. However, feel free to use all-purpose or a mix for these yummy cookies!

Rolled oats – The best oatmeal cookies are made with old-fashioned rolled oats! Perfect for adding texture and flavor.

Cinnamon – Apple and cinnamon are a match made in heaven! We’re loving the cinnamon flavors in this recipe. Feel free to adjust to taste!

Butter – Don’t want to use butter? Coconut oil or vegan butter is a great substitution!

Brown Sugar – We used brown sugar as a sweetener, but regular sugar works great too.

Maple Syrup – A small amount of maple syrup adds the perfect amount of sweetness and fall flavors! Feel free to substitute with more sugar, honey, or omit if desired.

Apple – Any type of apple works great in this recipe! Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Gala, and Red Delicious are all great options. Just be sure to cut the apple into tiny, tiny cubes for these cookies.

Lemon Juice – Optional, but can help bring out the bright flavors of the apple.

    You couldn’t ask for a better Fall cookie than Apple Cinnamon. Once I saw the recipe i knew i had to make it — it was a huge success. Our grandsons loved them and they usually only go for chocolate.

    These are great. I usually avoid oatmeal cookies because they usually have raisins (yuck) but these are fantastic!
