Ready for fall with my Caramel Apple Pie Cookies
Fall is on the way, whether you like it or not, friends. And as a food creator, we have to push out fall recipes ahead of time to pop-up in your algorithm. And I'm here to bring these fall-inspired cookies into your life, and I promise you, you won't regret your choice. The delicious flavor of a pie, in cookie form. And it's easy to make. That's all that matters, right? Is it simple to bake? Then YES, I want it.
Caramel sauce is the best hack
To save time, I used caramel sauce from the ice cream aisle. Caramel is so frustrating to make, and I just didn't have time. Once the cookies are cool, drizzle the caramel sauce over them with a spoon. You can choose not to use caramel, but I highly recommend you do. IT'S SO GOOD! Would you try these cookies? Let me know in the comments, and make sure you leave the recipe a rating.

- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar

Apple ingredients:
- 1 peeled chopped apple
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt into a bowl.
- In a pot, add your 1 stick of butter and cook on medium heat, stirring consistently until the butter has browned. This takes about 10 minutes, so keep an eye on it.
- Once the brown butter is cooled, add to a bowl with the sugars. Whisk this together slowly add your egg, vanilla extract and mix again.
- Add the dry ingredients to your wet ingredients. This should make about 6 or 7 cookies. Use a large cookie scoop and place the dough on a cookie sheet. Form a well in the dough. Pop the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- On the stove, add your diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, then set aside.
- Add the apple filling we made to the cookies & bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Check on the cookies at the 16-minute mark.
- Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle with caramel or eat the cookies alone.
