Ingredients
2 ¼
cups
rolled oats
1
cup
all-purpose flour
properly measured
1/2
teaspoon
baking soda
1/2
teaspoon
salt
1
teaspoon
apple pie spice
1
teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/4
cup
butter
melted
1/4
cup
unsweetened applesauce
3/4
cup
brown sugar
packed
2/3
cup
granulated sugar
1
large egg
1
teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
1/2
cup
finely diced apple
1/2
cup
chopped pecans or walnuts
Sparkling white sugar
optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir oats, flour, baking soda, salt, apple pie spice, and cinnamon together. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk butter, applesauce, and sugars together until combined.
Whisk in the egg and vanilla until well-combined.
Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the apples and nuts. The cookie dough will feel thick and maybe even a little dry.
Using a medium cookie scoop (1.5 tablespoon), scoop cookie dough, and place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if using.
Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until set and lightly browned at the edges.
Let cool 5-10 minutes on baking sheet, and then remove to wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes
Oats:
I have only used old-fashioned rolled oats in this recipe.
Flour:
To properly measure the flour, weigh or sift/stir and then lightly spoon into measuring cup and level.
Butter:
I use salted butter in this recipe.
Applesauce:
For this recipe, the pureed type of applesauce, rather than chunky applesauce, works well.
Brown sugar:
Either light or dark brown sugar will work.
Apple:
I recommend using a baking apple, like Granny Smith, in this recipe.
Nuts:
The nuts can be omitted, if necessary.
