Delicious Low Carb Version Caramel Apple “Crumbl” Cookie- THM S

Here is a low carb version of a Crumbl cookie. It’s a caramel apple cookie. It is so easy to make and doesn’t require any special ingredients. No need to refrigerate the dough, either.  This is a great fall treat! No need to cave to the treats filled with sugar and white flour. Make these instead. The perfect fall treat, low carb caramel apple cookies.

Here’s a couple notes

I don’t like the cooling affect that many sweeteners have. If you like things sweeter, add a little more sweetener. One tip is to make the dough and make one cookie. Taste it and see if you like it. For the cream cheese frosting, I added a little gentle sweet, but you can use whatever sweetener you want. I just didn’t want to keep adding the powdered swerve and cross the line with the cooling affect. If you aren’t sensitive to it, then I wouldn’t worry about it. Gentle Sweet helps sweeten without much of that issue.

I add gelatin and xanthan gum in this recipe, but you can leave them out if you need to.

These just help with the texture. Also, I love Brown Swerve, I use it in the cookie dough, the frosting, and the caramel sauce. If you can’t find any or don’t want to buy it, add a tiny amount of molasses to your sweeteners. Maybe 1/2 tsp. It helps with the flavor. Remember to sweeten the cookie dough and frosting to taste. We loved these so much!!

Don’t forget to click the caramel sauce recipe, that’s what we drizzle on top. I use allulose in this recipe, but use whatever sweetener you want. The reason I used allulose is it doesn’t crystalize. I don’t use allulose that often, but it’s a great sweetener. Here’s the one I use: Allulose
