For a richer flavor, consider using salted butter and omitting the added salt in the dough. If the caramel sauce becomes too thick while coating the cookies, add a teaspoon of water at a time to thin it out. Store the finished Caramel Apple Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.

StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

StepIn a mixing bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar, softened butter, and 1 tablespoon of the thawed apple juice concentrate until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually incorporate the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

StepRoll the dough into 3/4-inch balls and place them on ungreased baking sheets. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden brown, approximately 12 to 17 minutes. Once removed from the oven, immediately insert a toothpick into the center of each cookie. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. (Bake time: 15 minutes; Cool time: 30 minutes)

StepIn a saucepan over low heat, combine the unwrapped caramels, the remaining 2 tablespoons of apple juice concentrate, and water. Cook and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, about 5 to 10 minutes. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
StepSpoon the warm caramel sauce generously over each cooled cookie, allowing any excess to drip off. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
07
StepPlace the finely chopped walnuts on a plate. Gently press the bottom of each caramel-coated cookie into the walnuts, ensuring they adhere well. Transfer the cookies to a sheet of waxed paper to allow the caramel and walnuts to set completely. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
