Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium bowl and set it aside.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Whisk it together and set aside.

Step 3

Next, take the butter bowl and add the apple pie spice, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to it. Mix it well. Add in the applesauce and the egg.

Step 4

Finally combine the two bowls. Add the apple mixture to the dry ingredient bowl.

Step 5

Mixing everything thoroughly.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped apple pieces.

Step 7

Preheat air fryer to 315 degrees.

Step 8

Line air fryer basket with parchment paper.

Step 9

Using a small ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop the cookies out one by one making each cookie ball about two inches wide.

Step 10

Place each ball of cookie dough on to the parchment paper, leaving about an inch and a half of space between them. It’s important to leave that space because they do spread out.

Step 11

You will probably have to do multiple batches. I was able to fit in six cookies at a time.

Step 12

In between batches place the bowl of uncooked cookie dough in the fridge so that it stays chilled.

Step 13

Air Fry cookies for about 6-8 minutes.

Step 14

Repeat until all cookies are made.

Step 15

Remove cookies from basket and place on cookie rack to cool.

Step 16

Combine confectioners sugar and heavy whipping cream in a bowl, mix well. If you’d like it thinner add more heavy whipping cream, if you’d like it thicker add more sugar. Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle glaze over top of them.
