Fall reminds me of apples and one of the best ways to enjoy an apple is with caramel! After a trip to the orchard, my boys and I did a little experimenting and came up with this fun seasonal cookie recipe.

- Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt and mix well

- Drop by tablespoonful onto a GREASED cookie sheet (these will spread a bit).
