Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, blending well.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in the chopped apples and caramel bits gently.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
