Oatmeal Apple Cookies
This delicious recipe for Oatmeal Apple Cookies came in as an entry for a Taste of Nova Scotia’s contest. Throughout the month of September 2014 we asked for recipes featuring local apples for the chance to win a Taste of Nova Scotia gift basket. Thank you to Heather at theculinarychase.com for this seasonally-inspired submission.
