Instructions
COOKIES
- In a large bowl add the 1 stick of room temp butter, ½ cup of sugar and ¼ cup of brown sugar and mix together using a hand mixer, until it turns fluffy and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix again until a cookie dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for at least one hour. About 10 minutes before taking the dough out, start preparing the apple filling.
APPLE FILLING
- Chop the apples into tiny pieces and peel the apple. In a small saucepan over medium to low heat, add the apples, butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir until melted and combined.
- Combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour mixture into saucepan and stir. Let simmer for about 5 minutes over medium heat, or until apple mixture thickens up. After about 5 minutes, turn off heat to allow to cool.
TOPPING
- While apple are cooling, roll the cookie dough into 9 dough balls. Add ¼ cup sugar to a bowl and roll the cookie dough balls evenly through sugar to coat thoroughly.
- Place onto parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Flatten the cookie with your hand a bit and make a big indent in the center of the cookie for the apple filling to go.
- Add about 1 tablespoon apple filling to the center of each cookie.
- Place cookie sheet into preheated oven (350 degrees) and bake for about 14-16 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Drizzle the caramel on top of the cookies and sprinkle additional brown sugar (if desired).
- Serve and enjoy!
