Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully integrated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a uniform dough.
Fold in the finely chopped apple, chopped walnuts, and raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1.5 inches between each.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
