Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons apple pie spice
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup finely diced apple
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Stir together the flour, baking powder, and apple pie spice in a bowl.
  • In a second bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until light. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then stir in the diced apple.
  • Scoop the dough into eight portions and roll each in powdered sugar to coat fully.
  • Place the coated balls on the baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges set.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for five minutes before transferring to a rack.
  • Drizzle the cooled cookies with caramel sauce.

Notes

Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels too soft to roll. Use a thick caramel sauce so it sits on top instead of soaking in. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
