This delicious recipe for Oatmeal Apple Cookies came in as an entry for Taste of Nova Scotia’s Win with Nova Scotia Apples 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.
