Apple Oatmeal Cookies

My pumpkin spice candles have been burning nonstop the last few weeks.

I busted out my fall boots and have opened the windows to let the crisp air in.

There’s nothing better than snuggling under a massive pile of blankets and sleeping with the windows open.

I wake up to a feeling that I can only describe as Fall.

A feeling of nostalgia that brings back memories of OU football games, leaves twirling copper, mustard, and crimson, and chilly nights eating comfort food.

I cherish the memories of Autumn’s past.

But more than anything I look forward to the memories waiting to be made with Jackson as temperatures continue to drop and the last leaves fall.

Like baking Apple Oatmeal Cookies on a Sunday morning.

An easy recipe that you might enjoy, too.

1/3 cup butter, softened

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 1/4 cups flour

1 1/4 cups oats

Mix the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking soda until blended. Add the egg and applesauce and blend. Add flour a little at a time until mixed well. Finally, add the oats and mix well. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Enjoy with your favorite Fall beverage.
