Instructions
-
Mix the melted butter with the brown sugar (vergeoise or light brown sugar) and the granulated sugar. Add the salt, cinnamon, and the egg, then mix well. Add the flour and baking powder (sifted) and stir with a spatula. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into small cubes. Melt the butter in a large skillet, then add the diced apples. Cook for about 10 minutes, then add the brown sugar. Let everything cook until the apples are nicely caramelized, then add the cinnamon.
-
Remove from the heat, add the diluted cornstarch and the lemon juice, and mix well. Set aside to cool.
-
Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F
-
Shape 12 dough balls and place them well spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon to make a small indentation in the center of each ball. Bake for 10–12 minutes.
-
Right out of the oven, press the center again with the spoon (this will make room for the apple filling). Let the cookies cool completely.
-
Once everything is fully cooled, spoon the caramelized apples into the center of each cookie and pipe a bit of whipped cream on top. You can also drizzle some salted caramel sauce for extra indulgence!
