Directions

1
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, quick oats, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and lemon zest until well combined. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, cream butter and dark brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
4
Add egg, applesauce, and honey to the butter mixture. Beat at medium speed until smooth and fully incorporated.
5
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
6
Fold in the finely chopped fresh apples and raisins using a spatula or wooden spoon. The dough will be soft.
7
Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart.
8
Optionally, sprinkle each cookie with a little quick oat for topping.
9
Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and cookies are set.
10
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
