Salted Caramel Apple Pizookie
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (191 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, (melted)
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, (at room temperature )
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170 grams) white chocolate chips
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray two 6-inch pie plates or cast iron skillets with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir the melted butter with the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until just incorporated. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough evenly between the prepared pie plates. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
- While cookies bake, prepare the caramel apple topping. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add diced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring often, until apples soften, about 8 minutes.
- Top the warm pizookies with the caramel apple mixture and a generous drizzle of salted caramel sauce. Serve immediately with ice cream, if desired.
Notes
Pro tips
- For the perfect gooey center, watch for the edges to just barely brown; the middle will set a bit more as it cools.
- Don’t overmix the cookie dough once the flour is added; this can make the cookie tough. Stir just until combined.
- If your apples aren’t softening enough, cover the skillet for a few minutes to steam them, then uncover and continue cooking until tender-crisp.
This salted caramel apple pie pizookie is more than just a dessert; it’s an experience. Try it for your next cozy night in or a fun gathering with friends and family. Enjoy!
