Healthy Oatmeal Apple Pie Cookies are fluffy, moist, and packed with delicious flavor thanks to cinnamon, apple, and vanilla. Enjoy these healthy apple cookies for breakfast or as a late-night treat!

It’s pretty obvious that I’ve chosen a favorite cooking flavor this fall and it’s not pumpkin (gasp!)

However! If you’re looking for some pumpkin recipes, you won’t be disappointed with my Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Pumpkin Bread or Soft-Baked Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies.

My body is 90% cinnamon apple at this point and I’ve never been happier about it!

Last week I shared these Vegan Cinnamon Apple Blondies, a couple of days ago I shared my Snickerdoodle Muffins made with Applesauce, sauteed cinnamon apples + yogurt toast made an appearance on Instagram, and now I’m coming at ya with these Oatmeal Apple Pie Cookies!

In the words of Miley, I can’t be tamed.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a HUGE pumpkin fan.

These Soft Baked Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies might be my all-time favorite cookie recipe, but apple cinnamon has my heart all year long and I like to come up with recipes that are a little more evergreen.

These healthy Oatmeal Apple Pie Cookies will 100% make an appearance once the fall is over.

Pop one in the microwave for 10 seconds and add a dollop of peanut butter and you’re in HEAVEN.

That’s something I want to experience every day of the year. Ha!

I made these oatmeal cookies healthy by using oats and whole wheat flour as the base.

They also only require 1/4 cup of coconut oil and 1/2 cup of maple syrup!

You can check out this Honey Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Apples recipe for my favorite butter to use.

They get some of their sweetness from the fresh apple chunks, which I love.

I’m all about choosing natural sugars to sweeten my baked goods when possible!

I used Pink Lady Apples because they are my favorite, but granny Smith apples would be amazing in this recipe as well!

Granny smith apples are firm, slightly sour, and definitely one of the best apples for apple pie.

You could definitely use whatever Apple you prefer, though. 🙂

How To Make Healthy Oatmeal Apple Cookies:

Whisk together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir in the maple syrup.
Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in the apple.
Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Using a spoon and spatula, drop the cookie dough into 12-15 rounded scoops onto the prepared sheet.
Bake at 325°F for 13-17 minutes. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
