Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, mix in all dry ingredients: flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
In a separate small bowl, chop 1 cups worth of an apple of your choice into small 1/4 inch pieces. Add the lemon juice over top to prevent the apple chunks from browning.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar.
Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until all the wet ingredients are well incorporated.
Add in the dry ingredients, and mix until fully combined.
Finally, stir in the apple chunks.
In a prepared pan, take about two tablespoons worth of cookie dough and form it into your hands. Pat it down slightly. The mixture will be a little hard to work with.
Bake for about 14-15 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown.
For the icing, cream the cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
Add in the maple syrup and powdered sugar and mix until combined, making sure to keep stirring the sides and bottom to reduce any lumps.
While mixing, add in the milk a tablespoon at a time. You don't want the glaze to be too runny.
Finally, once the cookies are out the oven, let them cool for about five minutes before drizzling on the glaze and enjoy!
