Step-by-Step Instructions for Crumbl Caramel Apple Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and stir in flour, sugar, spices, and salt until crumbly. Cook until golden brown, then cool.
  3. Cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add egg, apple juice, and vanilla, mixing well.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing gently.
  5. Fold chopped apples into the dough, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Portion dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart, targeting around 12 cookies per sheet.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes.
  8. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, gradually add powdered sugar and caramel sauce until fluffy.
  9. Frost cooled cookies with caramel cream cheese frosting and sprinkle diced apples and caramel on top.
