Pour the liquid into the dry mix and mix together until well combined.

Next, add in oats, apples and walnuts and fold together.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden.

NOTES
For an extra crunchy top, I like to pop them under the broiler for a minute. Since there is fresh apple in these, by nature, the cookies will get softer each day they are stored.
