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, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the unsweetened applesauce and diced apple. Add chopped walnuts if using.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently flatten the cookies with a slightly dampened hand to form a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
