I love the smell of apple cinnamon. It instantly reminds me of my childhood when my mother would be baking in the kitchen after school and the aromas made me feel all warm and cozy. With fall fast approaching, I have created these delicious Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies that will bring that same feeling to you! They are so chewy and have chunks of apples that seriously hit the spot. They are also drizzled with a beautiful maple icing. They are so good you may even want to have them for breakfast. Happy Baking!
