Add wet ingredients: Mix in eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract.

Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.

Fold in apples & caramel: Gently stir until evenly distributed.

Scoop & top: Scoop dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Sprinkle generously with streusel.
