Anybody that knows me well knows I do love my sweets, and cookies are no exception. One of my of my all time favorite cookie is the oatmeal raisin.
My daughter brought home these oatmeal caramel apple cookies from Bob Evans Family Restaurant, and they were delicious. I looked for the recipe on their website but couldn’t find it.
So I decided to try and duplicate this oatmeal caramel apple cookie recipes. I proceeded to make a list of everything that I needed.
Here is what I used for these: Easy Bake Oatmeal Cookies
1 large Granny Smith apple (yielded 2 cups peeled and diced)
1 cup Kraft Caramel Bits
2 stick butter (softened and cut into small pieces)
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 cups Quaker Oats (Uncooked Quick or Old Fashioned)
The first thing I did was peel and diced the apple, I tossed the diced apple in a bowl with the cinnamon and brown sugar and set in the refrigerator while I prepared the other ingredients.

I added the white sugar and butter into my Kitchen Aid mixing bowl and turned it on low speed.
Next lightly beat the eggs with the vanilla and add it to the bowl, then add the flour, oats, and baking soda and continue mixing on low speed. Then I added the caramel and apple mixture continuing to mix on low speed.
Drop onto a cookie sheet with a tablespoon, I used parchment paper on my cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees. I let them cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before placing them on a rack to cool completely.
This recipe yielded me a little over 40 cookies and has apple and caramel in every bite. But here are a couple of changes I would make the next time:
- Instead of dicing the apple I would shred it using a cheese grater.
- I would press the caramel bits into the cookies after dropping them onto the cookie sheet, about 2 or 3 of them in the center.
I’m well on my way to eating all of these so I probably won’t make them again for a while. So if anybody tries this recipe with these changes please let me know how they worked out.
As always thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy it.
Appreciate the test run and advice on your copycat cookie recipe, Sam. They certainly do sound delicious and look amazing!

ReplyDeleteHi Carlee, Thanks for stopping by, it really is a great combination and a must try :)

ReplyDeleteI could have saved some for you Olivia but they're almost gone!! Good news is they are easy to make. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
DeleteGot Milk!! They sound Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThese look soooo delicious!
ReplyDeleteThese sound absolutely decadent, right down my alley dear Sam. Thanks for this recipe, and they will surely be made and enjoyed. Will let you know about the changes, but I think just looking at the recipe, that I might like them the way you made them originally. My motto is, "If it's not broke, don't fix it." Sharing this on FB, Google and Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteThanks you, so much Nancy. I do hope you enjoy!! Thanks for sharing :)
DeleteI was looking for a new cookie recipe ... found a good one. Will be making these for sure. Sharing & saving this.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Fay. I do hope you enjoy them :)
DeleteI tried the recipe yesterday and followed the suggested changes. These were good apple cinnamon cookies but you just don’t get that Carmel taste. They also were a bit cake like which isn’t bad but I think I prefer that good oatmeal cookie texture. My kids chowed them down but I think I would make a Carmel drizzle next Tim and maybe add more oatmeal and less flour for my personal preference. Good flavor.
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions, Emily, I like the idea of the Caramel Drizzle. I will have to try that the next time I make them.
DeleteThese sound wonderful, and I'm sure they're even better than Bob Evans cookies. Bob Evans doesn't have restaurants out here in Colorado but I try to sneak in a trip there whenever I'm back east now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daphne. If you give these a try I sure hope that you enjoy them. Thanks again for stopping by.
