Well, I warned you on Wednesday that I had a thing going for fall apples. So, here it is. The second apple recipe of the week. . .and it’s an addicting one! Well, only if you like peanut butter and oatmeal in cookies, because these are loaded with both. Add in some tart apples and you have fall in a cookie!
This recipe is a makeover of these peanut butter oatmeal cookies. Take out the Reese’s Pieces, add in some shredded apples. The result? The best kind of cookie. . .soft, thick and chewy! 
I only wish I had some to eat now. . . Have a great weekend! Hope you are able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful fall colors and weather!

Gorgeous photos too!
