Make the apple filling:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine apples, lemon juice, sugars, cornstarch, spices, salt, and water. Simmer, stirring often, until thickened and apples are tender (10–15 minutes). Cool completely.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 12-cup muffin pans.

In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.
Mix in dry ingredients, then oats.
Form cups:
Scoop dough into muffin cups (~2–3 Tbsp each), press up sides to form a cup.
Bake 10–12 minutes, then gently press centers to keep cup shape. Cool in pan 10 min, then remove.
Assemble:
Fill each cookie cup with cooled apple filling. Serve as-is or top with whipped cream or ice cream.
