Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the finely diced apple and chopped caramel candies to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
