Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the oil blends with the other ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the finely diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your vegan apple cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend their freshness.
