Apple Cinnamon White Chocolate Cookies

I've been craving fall food like crazy (who hasn't?) and came up with the idea to alter my favorite cookie recipe (White Chocolate Cranberry cookies). My mom got the original recipe from my Aunt Julie, who I believe got it from Ocean Spray Craisins. They quickly became a favorite...I love just about anything with white chocolate in it. The cookies stay soft and fluffy and delicious, and in my opinion taste better as a little time goes on and the flavors blend.

Ingredients:

• 2C. Flour
• 1tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2tsp Salt
• 1C. Brown Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2tsp Vanilla
• 1C. White Chocolate Chips
• 1C. Butter (Softened)
• 3C. Oats (I've always used quick oats)
• 1/2tsp. Cinnamon (heaping)...I'd add a bit more for more for these
• 1/2C. Granulated Sugar
• 1T Honey - I used pure maple syrup and it worked out great!
• 1 medium-large apple, peeled and diced. I used a large Honeycrisp, and had extra.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice (for topping)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, & cinnamon into a medium bowl
3. Stir in oats and set aside
4. Beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy
5. Beat in eggs one at a time
6. Add honey(or syrup) and vanilla
7. Add flour mixture until well combined
8. Stir in apple and white chocolate
9. Roll into 1-2" balls and place on cookie sheet about 2" apart (I did 2" for nice big cookies!)
10. Sprinkle tops with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
11. Bake 9-11 minutes (since mine were larger, I did around 13 minutes)
