Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and egg, then mix until well incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in diced apples, being careful not to overmix. Once evenly distributed, cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded portions of chilled dough onto prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Drizzle salted caramel sauce over warm cookies and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Notes
Allow the dough to chill to prevent spreading. Choose crisp apples like Granny Smith for best flavor.
