Ingredients

Scale

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup fresh apples, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 30 seconds until just liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix this dry blend into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the diced apples gently to ensure even distribution.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but centers remain chewy.
Let cool slightly before enjoying.
