Apple Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Bites

Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

Cooked Apples

  • 2 cups diced apples
  • 2 tbsp butter

Oatmeal Bites

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or any other nut
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries or any other dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 

  2. Peel and finely chop the apples. 

  3. In a frying pan, add two tablespoons of butter. Turn the heat to low. Add the chopped apples. Cook the apples on low heat until they are tender and nearly paste-like. Add another tablespoon of butter if needed. (The more cooked the apples, the better it helps the cookies stick together)

  4. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla. 

  5. Add the cooked apples, cinnamon, oatmeal, nuts, and dried fruit to the beaten eggs. Mix. 

  6. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. These oatmeal bites will not spread out, so you will want to flatten them. 

  7. Bake the oatmeal bites for about 12 to 15 minutes or until slightly crisp. Allow to cool before storing in an airtight container. The cookies will soften because of the apples.
