Ultimate Soft Caramel Apple Drop Cookies

"I love making old fashioned cookies like these and taking them up a notch, don’t you? These cookies have little bits of apple and hints of nutmeg, clove and cinnamon in the cookie dough and when baked, you get soft, mellow apple-icious cookies. The ‘taking them up a notch’ is the delicious, buttery caramel frosting swirled on top! For those who like salted caramel, give it a pinch of sea salt. IfIf you have company coming over, you should throw a batch in the oven. They smell ridiculous!! Heavenly ridiculous! Im telling ya!"
