Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, chopped apple, and nuts (if using).
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or 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.

For a spicier cookie, add a pinch of ground nutmeg or allspice.
If you don’t have rolled oats, you can pulse quick-cooking oats in a food processor a few times.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
