# Ingredients You’ll Need:

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour

02 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

03 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

04 - 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

05 - 1 cup chopped apples, peeled and cored

06 - 1/2 cup rolled oats

07 - 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat oven to 350°F and line a tray. Beat softened butter and brown sugar, then mix in flour and salt.

02 - Fold in finely chopped apples, oats and nuts. Portion rounded tablespoons with room between them; chill briefly if too soft to handle.

03 - Bake a small first tray, beginning checks around fifteen minutes and continuing until edges and centers are set with no wet flour paste. Adjust later trays to the same size and observed timing.

04 - Rest on the tray until sturdy enough to lift, then cool on a rack.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Apple moisture varies and this egg-free dough relies on butter and fruit for binding. Testing a few portions avoids committing the whole batch to one timing.

02 - Small pieces distribute more evenly and are less likely to break a cookie when it is lifted.
