Chewy Apple Oat and Raisin Cookies are, without a doubt, the ultimate oatmeal cookie. These cookies are going to sweep you off your feet!
The chopped apples are so subtle that you will question if they are even there, yet you notice a hint of something extra wonderful about the cookies. Of course, the more tart the apple, the more noticeable that flavor will stand out.
Here Is A List Of Some Of The Best Apples For Baking:
- Pink Lady
- Golden Delicious
- Honeycrisp
- Granny Smith
- McIntosh
- Braeburn
- Jonagold
As an option, consider vanilla-flavored chips. They blend in perfectly as an add-in to change things up occasionally. Baker’s Choice Chips are gluten-free and vegan but note that soy is an ingredient in these tasty chips.

To make a gluten-free apple oat and raisin cookie, substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free one-to-one blend. I used King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure For Measure Baking Blend.
- Salted butter ~ or a dairy-free substitute
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar ~ or for a cookie with less sugar Monkfruit Sweetener
- Egg ~ a flax-egg or aquafaba for egg-free cookies
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour or a gluten-free one-to-one type blend such as King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure For Measure or Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Old Fashioned oats ~ certified gluten-free if needed
- Apple
- Raisins
- Unsweetened or sweetened flaked coconut
Enjoy!
