- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions
- Prepare the caramelized apples by peeling and finely dicing the gala apples. Combine them with dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice in a skillet over low-medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes until tender and caramelized. Chill in the fridge.
- Brown the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty; cool slightly.
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, ground cinnamon, fine sea salt, and cornstarch.
- Whisk together cooled brown butter with sugars and vanilla until smooth; add egg and egg yolk.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined; then fold in chilled caramelized apples. Cover dough and chill for 2-3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into balls, coat in cinnamon sugar, and place on lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain puffy; cool before enjoying.
