I have used a similar recipe with Betty Crocker's oatmeal cookie mix and it has always come out wonderful. Instead of the maple syrup (too sweet for my family), I substituted a few tablespoons (usually three or four) of orange marmalade or a peach preserve although apple butter works well too. I added a quarter cup of rolled oats to the cookie mix to enhance the oatmeal flavor and give it a more nutty taste instead of using the pecans (family allergies to nuts). It really is a fool proof recipe and with the sweet apples now available, it is a wonderful and easy recipe to enjoy!
