Easy Apple Biscuit Recipes

These thick and soft apple oatmeal cookies are guaranteed to be your new favorite cookie for fall.These cookies are perfectly spiced and incredibly easy to make too!

When it comes to cookies, one of my favorites would have to be oatmeal cookies. There’s something so comforting about biting into one that they’re almost impossible to resist. So today I wanted to share a fall inspired version with this apple oatmeal cookie recipe!

Not only are these cookies incredibly easy to make, but they taste incredible too.I’m also sharing everything you need to know for how to freeze this cookie dough and change up the recipe to make it your own!

Apple Crumble Cookies

To make these cookies, you’ll start by whisking together some flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Then, stir in some old-fashioned rolled oats. Set the mixture aside and prepare the wet ingredients.

For the wet ingredients, you’ll mix together a stick of butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for one to two minutes or until they’re well combined. Then, you’ll mix in a room temperature egg and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. I suggest stopping and scraping down your bowl, then mixing again to ensure that all of the wet ingredients are well combined.

Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix the two together until just combined. Then, just peel, core, and chop a medium apple into bite-sized pieces (about 1 cup) and mix in into your cookie dough.

Once the dough is ready, scoop it onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. I prefer to use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop for these cookies because it’s the perfect size. The cookies will take about 12 to 15 minutes in the oven, you will know they are done when the tops of the cookies look set.

Iprefer to let my cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before I transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. But let’s be honest, these cookies are really delicious while they’re still warm too!

I get a lot of questions about whether or not it’s okay to freeze the cookie dough or baked cookies since these have chopped apples in them. These answer is yes!

Apple Butter Snickerdoodles

Once the cookie dough is ready, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and scoop the cookie dough onto it. Slightly flatten each ball of cookie dough, then place the baking sheet with the cookie dough in the freezer. Once the dough is frozen, store it in a freezer bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake the cookie dough, you can bake it from frozen and just add 1 to 2 extra minutes of baking time if needed.

Once the cookies have cooled completely, store the cookies in a freezer bag. For extra reassurance that they don’t stick to each other, you can place a piece of parchment paper between each layer of cookies. When you’re ready to enjoy the cookies, place them on the counter for a few hours and allow them to come to room temperature.

While these apple oatmeal cookies are fantastic just the way that they are, there are a few ways that you can change them up! Here are some of my favorite variations:

Nutmeg: If you don't have any ground nutmeg on hand, you may replace it with an extra 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or omit it from the recipe.

Egg: It's best to use a room temperature egg in this cookie dough. You can bring your egg to room temperature quickly by placing it in a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes.

Homemade Apple Biscuits

Apple: 1 medium apple will yield about 1 cup of chopped apples. You may use any kind of baking apple in these cookies, my favorite options are Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith.Apple Cookies get their delicious taste from easy to make homemade crockpot apple butter. They are soft, delicious, and the perfect cookie for fall.

It has gotten cool enough here recently for me to have my office windows open with a sweatshirt on and I am in heaven. I am fully embracing the turning weather and crisp autumn air. It makes me think about all of the fall flavors, and these Apple Cookies are one of the recipes making my heart sing.

They get their great apple flavor from Apple Butter, and the foundation of the rest of the recipe is my Perfect Sugar Cookies. These are sure to be a hit with any apple lover, they are like apple pie cookies. This is a great recipe to make with your kids.

The steps of any cookie recipe are pretty similar. Once you get the flow, you will find baking up cookie recipes to be a breeze. For the full recipe with all the measurements, look at the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

For years, I took the advice to add the flour mixture one scoop at a time to my creamed butter. Little did I know that this is a good way to over mix your cookies. I’ve since learned that a better method is to add the flour mixture all at once. Then turn your mixer on low, and let the flour mixture incorporate just enough. Then turn the mixer up all the way and let it finish incorporating for just a few seconds.

This will prevent your cookies from over-mixing. The reason this is important is that when gluten is over mixed once added to wet ingredients, it will lead to baked goods that are tough and overly chewy.

Apple Oatmeal Cookies {whole Grain!}

Apple Butter is like a thicker version of apple sauce. It is made by cooking apples at a low heat for a long time. Adding in sugar and spices rounds out the flavor and creates a great sauce.

Though it is closer in consistency to apple sauce than butter, it is perfect in lots of different recipes. One of my favorite ways to use it is in my Caramel Apple Bars.

Apple Butter can be found near the jellies and jams in the grocery store. That being said, I think my apple butter recipe for it puts this apple cookie recipe over the top.

Crockpot Apple Butter will make your house smell like heaven. It is the perfect fall recipe and can be used in so many other recipes.

Measuring flour is the number one way that readers go wrong when making a baking recipe. The reason is that when flour packs, which is easy to do if you measure it incorrectly, you can get up to 25% more flour. This can make for some dry cookies.

Frozen dough can be put right in the oven from the freezer. Bake them at the same temperature for an extra minute or so – 11 to 13 minutes.

These cookies freeze beautifully after baking too. Put them in an airtight container and freeze them for up to 3 months. They will take less than an hour to thaw at room temperature.

These delicious apple cookies can be stored in an air tight container for up to two weeks. As mentioned above, they do freeze very well if you need them to last longer. With any recipe, always use your best discretion when it comes to storing.

I have not made these gluten free, but a reader did. You can see her comment below, but she refrigerated the dough first and they came out delicious.
