Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the apple filling by peeling and chopping the apples, tossing them with lemon juice. In a saucepan, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg with water, then bring to boil before adding apples. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until tender. Cool completely.
  2. Make the oatmeal cookie cups by whisking flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, beat butter with brown and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mix well, then incorporate the dry ingredients and oats.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin and scoop the cookie dough into each cup, pressing down to create wells. Bake for approximately 15 minutes until golden brown. Create deeper wells after removing from oven.
  4. After cooling slightly, remove cookie cups from the tin and let cool completely. Fill each cup with apple filling, allowing it to overflow for visual appeal. Drizzle with the glaze if desired.
