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.
