Since some of us are finding we have too many apples, I thought I'd throw in one more of our favorite apple recipes!
1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla
2 cups old fashioned oats 1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 cups flour
2 medium apples pealed/chopped 1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Ina large bowl beat the butter, shortening, sugar and brown sugar with a mixer on medium thoroughly. Beat in eggs, and vanilla until well blended. Beat in oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and flour, scraping side and bottom of bowl once, just until blended. Stir in apples and walnuts.
On ungreased cookie sheets, drop by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
Bake 13-17" or until edges are golden brown and centers are set. Let come down to room temperature, then remove from sheets.
If desired, you can drizzle with the following glaze:
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup of milk or half and half
Mix until smooth. Drizzle over cookies as desired.
These are also REALLY good right out of the oven!
