Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookies

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

caramel_apple_oatmeal_cookies_08One of my favorite bakeries in Phoenix makes the most delicious apple oatmeal cookies. I love that they use dried apples, so the texture is even chewier than your standard oatmeal cookies.

With this cookie in mind, I set out to make my own version. After searching various recipes, I settled on the idea of making caramel apple oatmeal cookies. I combined two different recipes and changed a few things, to make them my own.

caramel_apple_oatmeal_cookies_02The original cookie recipe I chose only used 1/2 cup of dried apples; I upped it to an entire 4.5 ounce bag, or just over a packed cup. I also decreased the amount of oats the original recipe used by 1/2 a cup, as the dough was very dry. If you like a moister cookie, I might even drop the oats to 2 cups.

caramel_apple_oatmeal_cookies_03The caramel sauce was an easy one-pot recipe that worked perfectly for these cookies. It added just a bit of extra sweetness and moistness to the cookies. Plus, they looked a lot prettier with the caramel drizzle.

They taste really great without the caramel, but even better with it. My husband eventually tried them with caramel after sticking a few in the fridge so the caramel would harden–yep, he gobbled them right up.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
1 packed cup of dried chopped apples

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in oats and apples.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets (I baked mine on parchment paper—less mess!). Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 1 minute before removing to wire racks.

Super Easy Caramel Sauce

Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
pinch of salt

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until thicker. Turn off heat. Serve warm or refrigerate until cold. If sauce is thin, just continue cooking for a few more minutes.

#throwback to exactly one year ago...the very begi #throwback to exactly one year ago...the very beginning rumblings of this thing called corona virus. @terrimchugh and @fabeveryday flew into LA for the first ever @thetravelmom weekend in Huntington Beach. We were all so excited. And we had the absolute most amazing weekend. Little did we know the world would shut down a week later. But I’m so beyond grateful for that weekend because it created a bond with these women that has carried me through this past year. Without these dear friends, I’m not sure how I would have coped so well. Thank you @thetravelmom for bringing us all together - counting down the days till we can do it again!

March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, and I can’t believe we are at the one year mark of this quarantine life. I honestly miss dressing up for work, like this, so lately I’ve been dressing up in my living room for my zoom work calls.

Honestly, it’s so nice to feel some normalcy, even if there’s no need to be quite so dressed up. The way you dress definitely affects the way you feel, and this monochromatic look makes me feel happy and ready for spring.

Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energ Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energy that you can’t even describe - it’s that powerful. That’s @meaghanbmurphy ⚡️⚡️.

I met Meaghan two years ago at the @beachesresorts SMOTS conference and I was drawn to her positivity, radiant energy, and could totally relate to her “working mom who wants to have it all” mentality.
.
The older I get, the more I realize that the people you surround yourself with matters so much. If your Instagram friends or real life friends aren’t helping you to be the best version of yourself, then you might need new friends. 
.
Meaghan continues to inspire me with her new book “Your Fully Charged Life.” If you’re looking for a fun and smart read to help you take back control of your life on your journey to being your best self, this book is for you! You can get yours on Amazon, at Barnes and Nobel, or other book retailers near you. Congrats Meaghan! ⚡️⚡️
