Ingredients
  

1 cup apple pie filling (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cookie mix (such as sugar cookie or snickerdoodle)

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie mix with the ground cinnamon. If you're using a pre-packaged cookie mix, follow the amounts specified as a general guideline to ensure an even mixture.

    Add Apple Filling: Gently fold in the apple pie filling into the cookie mix until fully incorporated. The goal is to create a dough-like consistency with apple chunks visible.

      Shape Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of the dough and lightly roll them into uniform shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading.

        Drizzle with Caramel: Before baking, drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over the top of each cookie ball. If desired, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans on top for added crunch and flavor.

          Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

            Finishing Touch: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a minute on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. While they are still warm, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the tops and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.

              Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature with a cup of milk or your favorite beverage. For an extra treat, add a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips right after baking when the cookies are still warm.
