Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup finely chopped apple (about 1 small apple, peeled)

1/2 cup caramel bits or chewy caramel cut into small pieces

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

          Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped apple, caramel bits, and nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed within the dough.

            Scoop Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool.

                Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delightful caramel apple cookies!
