1 1/2cupsoatsI prefer old-fashioned, but you can use quick oats if you prefer
1applepeeled and finely diced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar and sugar for about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix for about 1-2 more minutes. Add the pumpkin and mix until combined.
In another bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix just until combined.
Add the oats and diced apples and stir just until well mixed.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets (greased cookie sheets or cookie sheets lined with silicone baking mats). Very gently press down on the top of the cookie dough balls to just slightly flatten them. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Make sure not to overbake!
Leave the cookies on the cookie sheet to cool for a few minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
