Autumn is in the air! Even here in Texas the mood outdoors is changing; leaves falling, less sunlight, crisp air, and sweater-worthy days. When I think fall, I think of apple picking with my mom, grandmother, aunt, and cousin. We used to go to this old woman's house on an apple orchard about 10 minutes away and pick a bushel which we would end up keeping in our garage over fall/winter. The best apples to me are the crunchie sweet ones like granny smith. The crunch of them is just satisfying in a way. Another fall favourite is oatmeal. Although eating oatmeal is not my favourite, I love to use it in baking. The last ingredient fall makes me think of which I'm sure you can guess; cinnamon! From cinnamon dolce lattes from Starbucks to pumpkin pie, there is a plethora of cinnamon in the fall-time. I decided to combine the three and make some delicious tasting fall worthy cookies. Here it is!
