Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

     Hello!  It's Recipe Tuesday and today's recipe for apple cinnamon oatmeal cookies comes from my FAVORITE cooking blog:  Sweet Pea's Kitchen. 
     These cookies were easy to make and even easier to eat!  They are loaded with apples, oatmeal and walnuts and incredibly moist.  I took a some into school with me and had quite a few requests for the recipe!  Christina did make an apple cider glaze to top off her cookies but I chose to leave them plain.
