Baking My Way: Granola Apple Cookies

(As you can see I didn't put the glaze on. I tried the cookies when they were done and I thought they were sweet enough without it so I thought I'd just leave them)

These cookies are seriously tasty! I wasn't too sure what I would think of apples in cookies but wow, are they good!! I would highly recommend these cookies and I think they would be great for a picnic or a camping trip!
