Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 medium apples
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unbleached flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup caramel baking pieces
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unbleached flour
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instruction

  • Peel, core, and dice apples and toss in lemon juice, and put in the refrigerator until needed.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar (you can use a fork or a hand mixer).
  • Add in eggs and vanilla and mix well until smooth.
  • Slowly stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
  • Use a paper towel to pat the apples dry and fold apples and caramel pieces into the cookie batter.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • While your dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and make the crisp topping.
  • Using a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands, combine the butter, brown sugar, unbleached flour, and oats until crumbly. Set aside.
  • Using a cookie scoop, create 1” cookie balls with your dough (dough will be sticky).
  • Roll the cookie balls in the crumb topping before placing them 2” apart on baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes until the center of the cookie is set. Do not over bake.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, combine powdered sugar and water until a smooth glaze forms. You can add more/less powdered sugar or water to get the consistency you want.
