You can definitely tell that it’s fall in my house.

Apples are overtaking my kitchen counters and countless cans of pumpkin are falling out of my pantry. My family room is filled with scented fall candles and my seasonal decorations are in full swing.

Not only does it look and smell like fall around here, but it tastes like it, too. And you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

While apple and pumpkin goodies are acceptable year round, it’s a necessity for me during the fall months.

I eagerly count down the days until I can buy pumpkin English muffins, apple bread, and pumpkin butter. I scour the grocery store aisles looking for the fall treats and happily squeal in excitement when I find what I’m looking for. If you’re trying to find a new seasonal item, chances are it’s already stocked in my fridge or pantry.

So to help reduce the amount of apples that are always hanging around, I decided to whip up some Glazed Apple Oatmeal Cookies. The name says it all, guys!

These Glazed Apple Oatmeal Cookies are soft, chewy and loaded with flavor. Packed with chunks of apples, fall spices and topped with a deliciously sweet glaze, you’ll be making this easy cookie all season long!
