Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and honey on medium speed for 1 minute, or until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing to incorporate as you go. Stir the apple and walnuts into the batter.
Drop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat, keeping space between the cookies (see Cook's Note). Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a cooling rack and serve.

Cook’s Note

Using a small ice cream scooper instead of a spoon is an easy way to make your cookies. You can freeze the cookie dough on the baking sheet for 1 hour, then place the balls in zip-top bags, label and store for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, place the frozen cookie balls on a baking sheet and add 1 minute to the baking time.
