Chewy Apple and Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

This recipe I found called for dried apple, instead I found these apple rings which are partially dehydrated, so in terms of texture, they resemble dried apricots, firm but still a bit squidgy. I chopped them into 2cm chunky pieces for this recipe. To make 20-24 (depending on how big you want them to be.)

Here's the ingredients in full:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup caster sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda
1.5 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup dried apples, chopped

In a large mixing bowl cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Crack in 1 egg and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl combine together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and fold into the butter and sugar until fully mixed.

Pour in the oats and chopped apple, mix until fully combined. It seemed like the mixture was a bit too thick, so I added a couple of tablespoons of water just to make it a little more workable.

I didn't worry too much about how big I wanted my cookies to be so I just took about a tablespoon of mixture for each one. Bake at 350f for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown in color. Cool on wire rack.

I felt they would've been better to have some raisins or sultanas too, but it didn't take long for them to disappear!
