Biting into one of these caramel apple cookies feels like catching fall in your hands. I’m not exaggerating. The warm cinnamon, the chewy apple bits, the buttery cookie base—each one of them has a little pocket of gooey caramel that surprises you mid-bite. They’re soft, sweet, and just a little sticky in the best possible way. We baked a dozen of these for a cozy movie night, and not a crumb survived the first twenty minutes. Even my brother, who claims to 'not do desserts,' had two and tried sneaking a third when he thought no one was looking. This recipe is simple, doesn’t ask for anything fancy, and comes together in a snap. Whether you’re making these to stash away for yourself or to impress friends at a fall get-together, they’ll deliver. You just need one bowl, one spoon, and maybe a little willpower not to eat the dough straight off the tray.
