Bite into one of these delicious “Apple Pie” Oatmeal Cookies and you’ll find soft and chewy pieces of heaven as the combined flavors of apple and cinnamon reach your taste buds. The recipe is flexible, so you can substitute raisins or other tasty ingredients for the diced apple, if you want. Regardless of how you make them, they’re irresistible … plan on making plenty! Watch how Amy makes these healthy, low-fat, low-calorie oatmeal cookies in the short video (on the last page).
Amy starts with a couple of tips:
– measure both the oats and the flour accurately and carefully to ensure best results,
– chilling is needed to stiffen up the dough so it doesn’t spread out too thin while baking,
– don’t over-bake, so they’ll stay soft and chewy in an airtight container for the rest of the week (if they last that long!)
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make 15 delicious Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies:
