Caramel Apple Skillet Cookie
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and cut into cubes
- ½ cup caramel sauce divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Grease 10 inch cast-iron pan with butter.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the ½ cup butter. Pour melted butter into a medium mixing bowl with both sugars. Mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined. Stir in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Fold in 90% of the cubed apples with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Place all the dough into the cast-iron pan and press lightly until even. Top with a ¼ cup of caramel sauce and gently swirl it around creating a thick “marble” look.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the cookie is golden brown and little-to-no jiggling. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes. Top with remaining 10% cubed apples, vanilla ice cream, and remaining caramel sauce
