The Best Ever Healthy Oatmeal Apple Pie Cookies with Maple Glaze

Are you a fan of apple pie?! Because I sure am. It could be my favorite type of pie, hands down. And what better excuse to turn it into a cookie than COOKIE WEEK! Yes, it is national cookie week! Pinch me, I might be in heaven.

If you are a fan of apple pie, then you will LOVE these soft cookies. The sweet cinnamon apples in combination with the warm oats and crunch from the toasted walnuts is truly something special. Every bite melts in your mouth. And let’s not forget about the simple three-ingredient maple glaze on top that adds the perfect amount of sweetness to this healthy cookie recipe!

These sweet cinnamon and apple cookies truly make me want to curl up on the couch with a blanket with some apple cider. I loved enjoying a few in the afternoon as a snack and in the evening before bed. One of the best things about these healthy apple oatmeal cookies are that they are made with minimal nutrient-rich ingredients like apple sauce, almond flour, rolled oats, and coconut oil. I am telling you, they are truly magical and perfect for the Holidays!
