Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple peeled and finely diced
  • 0.5 cup caramel bits

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cream butter with both sugars, then beat in egg and vanilla.
  3. Mix in the dry ingredients, then fold in the diced apple and caramel bits.
  4. Scoop generous mounds onto lined sheets.
  5. Bake at 350F for 11-12 minutes until set; let cool so the caramel firms up.

Notes

Dice the apple small so it bakes through and doesn't leave wet pockets.
