I was in charge of desserts this year for Thanksgiving-- but I have never made an apple pie before. I knew apple pie is the star of Thanksgiving so I couldn't mess it up. My first attempt was not the best so on Thanksgiving day I scrambled to fix another one. (Note: always have something under the pie pan to catch drippings- I learned the hard way as my oven caught on fire). I was very pleased with my second attempt and would recommend the recipe to everyone!
In the fall time, I always start craving the apple flavor-- so when I saw these cookies on Foodgawker I knew I had to make them. They did not disappoint on the apple cider flavor but I was a little bummed with how the caramel turned out. Right out of the oven, the caramel was soft and chewable, but once the cookies sat for a few hours, the caramel became almost inedible. I would recommend not using the caramel, as the actual cookie part was good enough to stand on its own.
