Apple Oatmeal Cookies Recipe.
You will need:
 2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. |
| 1 cup quick oats (not instant). |
| 1/2 teaspoon salt. |
| 1 teaspoon baking soda. |
| 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. |
| 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. |
| 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest. |
| 1 cups dark brown sugar, packed. |
| 3/4 cup softened butter. |
| 1 large egg. |
| 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce. |
| 1/2 cup of honey. |
| 1 cup finely chopped apple. |
| 1 cup raisins. |
| Top with 1/2 cup quick oats. |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a medium bowl combine flour, oats, salt, soda, cinnamon, cloves and lemon zest. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.
Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Add egg, applesauce and honey and beat at medium speed until smooth.
Add the flour mixture, fresh apple and raisins, and blend at low speed until just combined. Do not over mix. Dough will be quite soft. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets 1 1/2 inches apart. If you wish, sprinkle the cookies with oats. Bake 23-25 minutes or until bottoms are golden.
