Chewy Apple Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies were seriously good! I was a little nervous with putting actual apples in them, but I loved it! They're going to be great in the fall as there's cinnamon...just always reminds me of fall! They were quick and easy as well! And they were so chewy--which is my favorite kind of cookie!
