Place rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Stir in the oats.
In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Add the apple, egg and vanilla and continue beating until well combined.
With the mixer on low, gradually beat in the flour mixture until blended, then stir in the cranberries.
Drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets, making a total of 24 cookies.
With the back of a spoon, or your damp fingers, flatten each cookie.
Bake, one cookie sheet at a time in the center of your oven, until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the cookie sheets placed on wire racks for 2 to 3 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to the wire racks to cool completely.
