Oct 10, 2012, Updated Sep 23, 2024 Anyway, I’ve succumbed to the disappointment and I found a better way to scratch that caramel-apple itch. In COOKIES! These cookies are golden brown and slightly crisp at the edges, soft in the centre, with lots of chewy caramel and slightly crunchy apple. I left the skin on my apple for some colour. Granny smith was my fruit of choice, but you could use whatever you’ve got on hand – except the super soft varities, such as MacIntosh. The cookies will soften quite a bit after a day, due to the moisture in the apples, but they’re still scrumptious – just more along the lines of a hermit cookie texture. If I’ve inspired a yearning for caramel apples, and you want the real chewy-sweet-crunchy-tart deal, you need to try my Homemade Caramel Apples recipe! Also… for hard-core chocolate lovers… these morsels are incredible with chunks of dark chocolate in lieu of apple, and sprinkled with flaked sea salt before baking. Other Favorite Apple Treats
