It is most definitely Autumn with the apples popping up on the trees, leaves changing to beautiful golden colors and my kitchen smelling like Autumn all rolled up into a cookie. Last week I had this craving for an oatmeal cookie. But I wanted something special, something that was warm, sweet and chewy. That’s when I decided to incorporate some fresh Jonathan apples. I’m telling you, these will just melt in your mouth and warm your tummy!
