# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven and set it to 350°F (175°C). Get some parchment paper and line your baking pans with it.
02 -
Whip up the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together till fluffy. Then mix in the egg along with vanilla.
03 -
In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Carefully add this mix to the wet stuff, stopping when just blended.
04 -
Stir in those apple chunks and crushed nuts gently. Don’t overmix!
05 -
Scoop dough by heaping tablespoons onto the lined pans. Leave about 2 inches between each. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until you see golden edges.
06 -
Let the cookies settle for about 5 minutes while still on the sheets. Transfer to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. Pour over caramel and finish with a bit of sea salt if you like.
# Notes:
01 -
Use apples that are firm with a slightly tart flavor to get the best texture.
02 -
Wait until you're ready to eat before adding the caramel on top.
03 -
If you’re going for nuts, pecans or walnuts are the best choices.
