Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until everything is nicely combined and smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, all-purpose flour, flax seed meal, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir in the chopped apples, making sure everything is evenly mixed. Scoop out the dough into balls about the size of a golf ball and space them a couple of inches apart on your baking sheets. Pop them in the oven and bake until the cookies turn golden around the edges, which should take around 12 minutes. Let them cool a bit before enjoying!
