Apple Snickerdoodles With Brown Butter

"Apple Snickerdoodles are what happens when apple pie and a snickerdoodle meet in the middle. Instead of just relying on cinnamon in the dough, this recipe caramelizes fresh apples, creating little pockets of apple flavor. The result is a softer, slightly more tender cookie that still carries that classic tangy note from cream of tartar and the signature cinnamon sugar crust. The heart and soul of these cookies really does start with the apples. Instead of mixing them raw, they’re cooked gently with brown sugar, lemon, and cinnamon until soft and caramelized. That step concentrates the flavor, draws out excess liquid, and gives you little bits of spiced apple in every bite. It also keeps the dough from turning heavy or soggy, which can happen if you add fresh fruit straight in."
