Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and pure vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until fully combined.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, raisins, and chopped dried apricots using a spatula or spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your fruity oatmeal cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
