Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups thinly sliced apples
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, butter, shortening, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth; stir in oats, apples, and flour until dough is evenly combined. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool, 3 to 5 minutes.
