Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Add the applesauce, dried apricots, maple syrup, butter, and oil to a blender. Cover and blend until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and blend until puréed like a smoothie. Pour the batter into the dry mixture in the medium bowl and stir until well combined. Note: The batter will seem slightly loose (runny).
  4. Drop 7 cookies on each baking sheet, about 2 well-rounded measuring tablespoons each. Bake until browned on the bottom, about 25 minutes.
  5. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets on racks. Store the soft-chew cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
