Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine quick oats, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and chopped dried apples.

Stir the mixture thoroughly until a uniform dough forms and all oats are hydrated.

Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cookies are firm to the touch.

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet to set.
