Runs on Coffee and Cream

Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookies:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup softened butter
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
1 cup chopped apple
caramel sauce
icing sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon in small bowl. Beat butter, applesauce, white and brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in large bowl. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
3. Stir in oats and chopped apple. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheets.
4. Bake for 9 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
5. Once cooled, mix caramel sauce and icing sugar to desired consistency and drizzle over cookies.

They are a seriously yummy cookie that I will definitely make again. If you want a less sticky cookie, omit the caramel drizzle. The apple chunks add enough flavour to these oatmeal cookies.

Guys, it's officially Autumn!!! I spent the first day of Autumn on a hike with Adam through a nearby conservation area. I have some pictures from that day that I will share in a later post.

 

I plan on taking full advantage of the season and indulging in everything pumpkin and apple. I get pumpkin flavours and scents for only 3-4 months a year so I need to get my fix!

I've already been planning visits to local farms and Fall festivals, and movie and game nights with Adam. This is my favourite time of the year (well, it might be tied with the week leading up to Christmas which I adore).
