Apple Oatmeal Cookies

1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (I like to use the golden raisins)
1 cup finely chopped, peeled apple
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup oil
1/3 cup milk

In a medium bowl, combine oats, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Stir in raisins and apples.

In a large bowl, combine egg, honey, oil and milk. Stir in dry ingredients. Mix to form a smooth batter. Drop batter onto ungreased baking sheets, using rounded teaspoon of dough for each cookie, leaving 2 inches between. With wet fingers, press dough down to about 1-1/2-inch diameter.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly brown. Remove from sheets and cool on racks.

Yield: About 3 dozen cookies
