In case you haven't seen any of my other recipes, I should tell you that I'm pretty much partial to cookies:) This recipe is pretty much a staple in my kitchen-it's easy, adaptable, really yummy, and everyone who drops by eats them by the handful. I have used other pie fillings as well, but the apple is just so cozy and fitting for the coming seasons;) If you get a chance to try these, I hope you enjoy them:) Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup packed light brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats |
2 1/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 -8 tablespoons water |
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling |
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or 1/2 cup almonds or 1/2 cup pecans |

1. Preheat oven to 375*F.
2. Line at least 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
3. COOKIES: Cream together the butter and brown sugar until well blended; add vanilla.
4. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Add alternately to the butter mixture with water stirring with a spoon.
6. Mix well after each addition.
7. (Mixture will be crumbly, but will hold together when shaped into a ball.) Add additional water, if necessary.
8. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture for the topping.
9. Shape remaining dough into 1 balls; place 2 apart on the cookie sheets.
10. Flatten each cookie to an 1/8 thickness with the bottom of a floured glass; smooth edges.

12. Remove from oven; cool on cookie sheets about 5 minutes.
13. For the TOPPING, place 1 teaspoons.
14. fie filling in the center of each cookie; spread carefully to cover.
15. Combine the 1 cup reserved crumbs and nuts in a small bowl; toss to blend.
16. Sprinkle over filling.
17. Return to oven and bake 5 minutes more, or until topping is light brown.
