These are the perfect fall cookie. The apples have been so good this year. I went out to Isom's Apple Orchard earlier this fall and got some great apples. I got a variety I was not familiar with called Enterprise. They are a nice firm apple with a little tart taste. They are great to cook with. I will be looking for them again.
I wish you could smell these cookies. I didn't freeze any of these because I wasn't sure how the fresh apple would freeze. I might try it again next year and freeze some.
I know it looks like a lot of ingredients but they put together really fast.
Start with a stick and a half of softened butter.
1 1/4 cups brown sugar. Mix the butter and sugar well.
Add one egg. I have found that eggs mix better when they are room temperature.
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt. Keep in mind if you use salted butter you might want to use less salt. I always use unsalted butter.
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice. This smells so good.
2 3/4 cup quick cooking oats. Not instant oats.
1 cup chopped apple. I grated mine because I thought it would be faster and it was but I didn't get that good apple flavor as much. Next time I will peel and chop the apple instead of grating it.
Scoop them out on parchment lined baking sheets. Place in a preheated 350 oven and bake for 15-18 minutes.
Once they are cool enjoy. There is a glaze you can add to the top of the cookies if you like. I didn't want to I thought they were great without it. I will add the glaze recipe at the bottom.
