Peel and finely dice the gala apples. Toss them with dark brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice until fully combined. Cook over low-medium heat until browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside to chill in the fridge.
Melt the unsalted butter in a pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat when golden brown. Cool in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, ground cinnamon, fine sea salt, and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk cooled brown butter, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Add the egg and egg yolk, whisk until smooth, then gently fold in the chilled caramelized apples.
Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and fold until a cohesive dough forms. Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
Using a cookie scoop, roll dough into balls and coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Space them 2-3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are set and golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Dust with extra cinnamon sugar before serving if desired.
