I love oatmeal cookies and so
does IT Guy. He also loves apple pie. Me? Not so much. It's okay I guess
but I don't enjoy it like he does. But I figured how could I go wrong
combining the two. And guess what? I wasn't wrong. IT Guy loved these! I
think the only way they would have been better for him was if I had
added a cup or so of chopped pecans....because he's all about those.
These ended up crispy and delicious!
