1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together oats, flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with the egg until light and fluffy.
Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples.
Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden around the edges but soft in the center.
