Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 1 large apple, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
