Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 1/2 cups finely diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup caramel bits or chopped soft caramels
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using).
  7. Stir in the caramel bits.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  10. Immediately sprinkle the tops of the cookies with flaky sea salt while they are still warm.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala.
  • Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best cookie texture.
  • You can substitute apple pie spice for the individual spices if preferred.
