    Add cornstarch mixture to thicken, then cool completely.
  3. Prepare the cinnamon crumble
    Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cold butter.
    Mix until crumbly, then bake until lightly golden.
  4. Bake the cookies
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes.
    Cool completely before adding toppings.
  5. Assemble the cookies
    Top each cookie with apple filling and cinnamon crumble.
    Drizzle with salted caramel sauce and finish with flaky sea salt.
