Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies

What’s more homey than apple pie and cookies? How about an apple pie cookie?

This recipe is a play on the typical oatmeal raisin cookie, with similar textures and new flavors. It’s also a great pantry buster recipe, as it utilizes leftover dates from Sticky Toffee Pudding, leftover granny smith applies from Apple Pie filling, and simple pantry staples.
