Easy Apple and Raisin Oatmeal Cookies recipe. This healthy dessert idea is nut free, and perfect for a quick and simple snack.
Apple season, WHO’S READY??
I promised that I would be all about the pumpkin. And I am, I really am. But I’ve got to show apple a little love too. Because as much as I love pumpkin treats, I am also obsessed with apples.
Gotta love the fall flavours. How I missed this time of year.
These Apple and Raisin Oatmeal Cookies are like a hug in cookie form. I love having a couple with my coffee in the morning, or my tea at night.
At all times of the day really. I can’t stop eating these cookies.
I’ve made my fair share of Oatmeal Raisin Cookies before. In fact, I make them at LEAST once a month. But adding apple to them?
Pure genius if you ask me. (Though I may be a tad biased).
What do you need to make these Apple and Raisin Oatmeal Cookies?
It uses pantry staples! All you need is:
- oats
- flour
- baking soda
- cinnamon
- butter
- brown sugar
- egg
- milk
- vanilla
- raisins
- apple
I admit the list looks long, but I am sure you have most of those ingredients at home!
While I am still baking up a lot of pumpkin recipes for you all, I know there are a lot of you out there who don’t GET the whole pumpkin thing.
So this is for you. I hope you get the apple thing. Because those are the flavours that I am going to be baking with this fall.
Gotta bake with these flavours while they are in season! What is your favourite fall flavour??

Am so glad to read your post and am a big fan of cookies…and this cookies looks soo good & sound too delicious as well….i will trying to make it….Thanks for sharing a tasty cookies…..!
Hope you do! It’s so good 🙂
I made these today. They are good, but fall apart easily. I thought at first it was because I didn’t bake them long enough. Baked my second & third batches longer but same problem. I think maybe TWO eggs instead of just one would hold them together better. Would also had a bit more cinnamon next time. Otherwise, very good cookies!
I agree with what she said. Also srcond batch I grated 2 apples rather than diced one and put only a stick of butter and one small 1/2 container of unsweetened applesauce.
Found them way too sweet. 🙁
