Ingredients
  

1 cup of all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup of brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 cup of diced apples (peeled and cored)

1/4 cup of caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Fold in the Apples: Gently fold the diced apples and optional chopped pecans/walnuts into the cookie dough.

            Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

              Drizzle the Caramel: Using a teaspoon, drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over each cookie.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.

                  Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy the cookies warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce when serving, if desired!
