These Salted Caramel Apple Cookies are really easy to make and taste just like a caramel apple without all the mess.  Simple ingredients such as almonds, apple and a  light salted caramel drizzle make these cookies the perfect fall treat! 

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 15 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 oz diced apple
  • 3 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (I use Lakanto Golden)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (I use Pyure)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp caramel flavouring
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup crushed nuts (I used walnuts)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp Apple Pie Spice Mix
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking power

For the Caramel Topping:

  • 1-2 tbsp nut putter
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp caramel extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchmement paper
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter with the sugar until fully incoporated.  Add in the egg and beat until combined.  Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, caramel extract, apple pie spice, salt, baking powder and vanilla.  Stir everything together.  Finally, add the diced apples and crushed nuts to the cookie batter and stir everything together.
  3. Drop 1 tbsp of cookie mixture on to a lined cookie sheet.  Gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass or dampen your fingers and gently shape the cookies.  Place the cookies in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until just beginning to brown.  Remove the cookies from the oven, let them cool 5 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
  4. As cookies are cooling, add peanut butter and butter to a bowl and heat for 20 seconds or until it is beginning to melt.  Add a little caramel extract and powdered sugar to the peanut butter and stir until sugar dissolves.  Finally, carefully drizzle caramel over the cookies.
