Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes. Toss the diced apple with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and diced apple gently using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoons of the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through if necessary.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Oatmeal Apple Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
