Apple Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients

Ingredients needed to make healthy apple pie oatmeal cookies.
  • Quick-cooking oats: make sure to not get steel-cut oats as the texture won’t be right.
  • Whole wheat flour: fluff the flour before measuring it to avoid over-packing the flour.
  • Baking powder and baking soda: make sure these have not expired. They will help your cookies rise and not dense.
  • Spices: I use cinnamon and nutmeg to give my cookies a warming flavor. 
  • Salt: just a pinch for flavor.
  • Egg: this will help with binding things together.
  • Butter: you can also use coconut oil.
  • Maple syrup: use real maple syrup and not pancake syrup.
  • Apples: make sure to peel the apples before adding them to the cookie dough.

How To Make Healthy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

  • Prepare the equipment: Preheat oven to 350 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl mix together oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt. Set aside.
  • Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl whisk together coconut oil, maple syrup, and egg.
Wet and dry ingredients mixed together.
  • Combine everything: Pour in liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until almost all incorporated. Add in apples. Mix to incorporate.

  • Roll the cookies: Scoop ¼ cup of the batter and place it on the baking sheet. With the help of a 3” round cookie cutter shape each cookie to have an even size. Sprinkle with some extra nutmeg on top.

Tips to Make these Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Cookies

  • Make sure to not overpack the flour when scooping it from the bag. Too much flour will lead to dry cookies.
  • Make sure to line your baking tray with parchment paper, so your cookies won’t tear and it’s easier cleanup!
  • Make sure to cut the apples up into very small pieces so they bake through and get bits of apple chunks in each and every bite.
  • Use a cookie scoop or a measuring cup for the fastest and easily method for scooping out the dough evenly.
  • For slightly chewier oatmeal cookies, you can under bake them slightly.
  • The lemon juice will keep the diced apples from browning before they bake.
  • Use only quick oats because they offer the best texture needed for this recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oatmeal Cookies

Are oatmeal cookies actually healthy?

Oatmeal cookies are a little healthier than regular cookies as they do contain oatmeal. Oatmeal is full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants so they make for a great addition to the cookies.

Why do my oatmeal cookies taste dry?

If your cookies are dry, you most likely added too much flour. Also overmixing cookie dough will develop the gluten in the flour, which can lead to tough cookies. Avoid using a mixer and just combine everything in a bowl by hand. 

What apples should I use?

You can use any type of apple for these healthy apple pie oatmeal cookies. I like fuji, honeycrisp, ambrosia, and granny smith. But use what you have on hand.

How do I store cookies?

You can store these cookies in an airtight container for a few days at room temperature. These cookies can also be frozen for up to a month.
