Method

  1. Place the softened butter in a bowl, add the sugar and mix until creamy.

  2. Gradually add the eggs and incorporate fully.

  3. Stir in the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until combined.

  4. Finely chop the walnuts and dice the apples, then add them together with the chocolate chunks to the batter and mix gently.

  5. Scoop the dough onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet using a spoon, forming cookies.

  6. Bake at 350°F for 20–22 minutes.

  7. Allow the cookies to cool, then serve. The apples become tender, the cinnamon adds a warm aroma, and the walnuts give a pleasant crunch.
