Ingredients

2¾ cups old-fashioned oats
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons apple pie spice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cups unsalted butter softened
1¼ cups light brown sugar firmly packed
1 egg
¼ cups milk any kind (I used 2%)
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 cup diced apple (about 2 apples. I used fuji, but any kind will do)

Glaze:

1½ cups confectioner's sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk , any kind (I used 2%)

Instructions

Make the cookies:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, apple pie spice, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer with fitted paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in egg, ¼ cup milk, and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients into oat mixture, about a ½ cup at a time, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in apples.
Drop mixture by about 1 heaping tablespoon onto prepared baking pans about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then move to wire racks to cool completely.

Make the glaze:

While cookies are cooling, prepare glaze. n a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner's sugar and 2 tablespoons milk. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
