Essential Ingredients
Who can resist a sweet tooth craving, especially when it’s a caramel apple crisp? These cookies bring together everything delightful that autumn has to offer- crisp apples, gooey caramel and a crumbly cookie base. The flavours and textures blend perfectly in each bite that you take, and the aroma of it baking will pull everyone into your kitchen.
Let’s start with the ingredients for this culinary symphony.
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of old fashioned oats
- 2 cups of thinly sliced, peeled tart apples
- 15 unwrapped caramels
- 2 tablespoons of whipping cream
Now, these may seem like quite a few essential ingredients, but don’t feel overwhelmed. Let’s break down the recipe process into manageable steps.
Please note that during the process, pre-heating your oven to 350° F (175° C) is an important precursor. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Start by thoroughly mixing your flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Always remember, the key to a fantastic baking experience is organisation and cleanliness!
Next, in a large bowl, cream your butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add your egg and vanilla, mix well. Gradually add your flour mixture, mix well. Stir in your oats and apples. Drop by the tablespoon onto your pre-prepared cookie sheets.
Bake these for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remember to rotate the trays halfway through for even baking. Let the cookies cool on the trays for about 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
The final step is creating the caramel drizzle, this step is what makes this cookie go from good to grand! Cook your caramels and whipping cream over low heat until smooth. Drizzle over your cookies. Let it set before serving, then enjoy this delicious treat with a cup of warm apple cinnamon tea.
Enjoy whipping up these Caramel Apple Crisp Cookies, and as always, keep it easy peasy in the kitchen!
