Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup diced apples (peeled and cored, preferably Granny Smith)

3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

3/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Additional caramel for drizzling (optional)

Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

          Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

            Fold in the Apples and Walnuts: Gently fold in the diced apples, chopped walnuts, and 1/2 cup of caramel sauce, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are slightly soft.

                  Cool and Drizzle: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle remaining caramel sauce over cookies while they are still warm and sprinkle lightly with sea salt if desired.

                    Serve & Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Caramel Apple Walnut Cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea!
