    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: JMartinelli13

    List of Ingredients




    For the cookies:
    2/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
    2 sticks butter, softened
    2 egg yolks
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    For the filling:
    3 apples (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored, diced small
    1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
    1 teaspoon butter
    1/4 cup apple juice
    3T caramel ice cream topping

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375º. Cream together brown sugar and butter. Add egg yolks and vanilla, mix well. Stir in flour and salt. Roll into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets 1" apart.

    Bake in 375º degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Quickly indent each cookie center with thumb. Bake 8 minutes longer. Cool completely.

    For Filling:
    Combine apples, brown sugar, butter, and apple juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium; cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Stir in 3T caramel ice cream topping. Cool. Fill each cooled cookie with 1t filling.

    Makes about 2 dozen.

    *I line sheets with parchment paper, and use a cookie scoop to get uniform balls. I also used a Pampered chef tart press to make the indents.
