Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well until combined.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Gently fold in the chopped apple and caramel bits or candies until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbly.
-
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart for spreading.
-
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each cookie.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
