Chewy cookies filled with spiced apple and topped with a caramel drizzle, perfect for fall baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 ½ cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with brown sugar and lemon juice.
  7. To assemble the cookies, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Press a small indentation into the center of each cookie dough ball. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the apple mixture into each indentation.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji.
  • You can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the apple filling for extra crunch.
  • These cookies are great for bake swaps and holiday cookie boxes.
