Ingredients

Scale

¾ cup unsalted butter
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
¼ tsp salt
⅓ cup granulated sugar (for apple filling)
1 tsp ground cinnamon (for apple filling)
2 medium apples (peeled and diced)
3 tbsp brown sugar (for apple filling)
½ tsp cornstarch (for apple filling)
Salted caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter and add diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook for about 5 minutes until apples are softened; set aside to cool.
Cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time and stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Gradually combine with the wet ingredients until just mixed.
Fold in the cooled apple mixture into the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about two inches apart. Bake for about 10 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Drizzle with salted caramel sauce before serving.
