Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the room-temperature butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves, and salt, then gradually fold into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the chopped apples gently into the dough.
  6. Scoop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop and flattening them slightly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown but centers are still soft.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and maple syrup until smooth to create the glaze.
  10. Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled cookies and allow it to set before serving.
