These Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Bites are a delightful twist on traditional cookies, offering a wholesome and flavorful treat perfect for any time of the day.
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients together can help achieve a more even mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Ensure the wet ingredients are well combined to create a uniform batter.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the bites tender.
Fold in the finely chopped apple pieces.
Chop the apple into small, uniform pieces for even distribution.
Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Use a cookie scoop for consistent sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden and set.
Check for doneness by lightly pressing on a bite; it should feel firm.
Allow the bites to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Cooling completely helps the bites firm up and enhances their flavor.
