Step-by-Step Instructions for Crumbl Caramel Apple Cookies
  1. Prepare the apples by washing, peeling, and dicing them into pea-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
  2. Cream the softened butter, white sugar, and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground spices, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually incorporate into the wet mixture.
  4. Fold in the diced apples gently. Use a cookie scoop to portion out 1/4 cup of dough on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12 minutes, until edges are set and centers are slightly underbaked.
  6. Cool on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and caramel sauce until fluffy.
  8. Frost cooled cookies with cream cheese frosting and top with diced apples, streusel, and drizzle with caramel sauce.
