  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh apples, peeled and diced

Crumb Topping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add in one large egg and the teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  • Gently fold in the diced fresh apples and oats.

Crumb Topping Preparation

  • In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon to create the crumb topping.
  • Break the mixture down until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Baking

  • Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of crumb topping over each cookie.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve the cookies warm with a hot beverage or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
