Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.

Melt butter and golden syrup in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar. Cool for 2 minutes, then stir in vanilla and egg. Add flour, oats, baking soda, spices, lemon zest and apple. Stir until well combined.

Use clean wet hands to shape mixture evenly into 16 balls. Place on prepared trays, spacing them well apart and flatten slightly with fingers. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden. Stand cookies on trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
