Instructions

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

  3. Add vanilla extract and eggs, mixing well until incorporated.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a separate bowl.
  5. Combine dry ingredients with creamed mixture until just mixed. Do not overmix!
  6. Dice apples into small pieces, then cook in a skillet with butter, apple cider, brown sugar, and spices for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  7. Let the apple mixture cool before folding it into the cookie dough.
  8. Scoop cookie mounds onto the baking sheet a few inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
  10. Make the salted caramel sauce by dissolving granulated sugar and butter, adding heavy cream and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  11. Drizzle salted caramel over cooled cookies and let cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
