I'm not a big fan of caramel, but these cookies were still really good. The apple filling was tart and sweet, and the shortbread crust was flaky and buttery. I would definitely make these again, but I might use a different filling next time.

I had some trouble getting the shortbread dough to come together. I had to add a little bit of extra butter. Other than that, the cookies turned out great.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the caramel filling.
