Can the white chocolate be left out of this recipe?
Yes! By all means, if you’re not a fan, leave the white chocolate chips out.
OR, if you’re more of a milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate lover, why not substitute that instead?
Can the pecans be swapped or left out?
Either, or both.
Feel free to leave them out altogether, or swap them with another nut that is your favorite, or that you already have on hand.
Walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, or even pistachios would make a nice substitution.
Can these apple oatmeal cookies be frozen after baking?
Yes!
Store them in an air-tight freezer container or wrapped well in a freezer-bag for up to 3 months.
How to make Apple Oatmeal Cookies:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, and milk. Combine.

- Add the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and flour. Mix to combine.
- Add the oats, pecans, and white chocolate chips. Mix to combine.
- Add the peeled and diced apples to the batter and mix to combine.


- Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto parchment lined baking sheets and bake the cookies in a preheated 350-degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool on racks and continue the same process with the remaining dough.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or wrap well and freeze.
