1cupfinely diced apples mixed with 1tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl mix together oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl whisk together coconut oil, maple syrup, and egg.
Pour in liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until almost all incorporated.
Add in apples. Mix to incorporate.
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.
Bake 10-12 minutes.
Let cool on the baking sheet.
Notes
ke 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.
