Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
First, start by reducing one cup of apple cider in a small sauce pan over medium heat. This should take about 20 minutes or until the apple cider has reduced to about 1/4 cup. Set aside to cool. Make sure to reserve 1 tablespoon in a separate bowl as this will be used for the topping.
In another small saucepan, add the butter and let it cook on medium-low until browned. You will know it's done when the butter starts to foam at the top and brown bits float to the surface. Make sure to keep an eye on it as it can burn very quickly.
Set the butter aside in a separate container to cool. Make sure to reserve 2 tablespoons and add it to the bowl with the reserved one tablespoon of apple cider as this will be used for the topping.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the brown butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Add in the vanilla, egg, apple sauce and the 1/4 of reduced apple cider and mix until fully combined.
Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix just until combined.
On a prepared baking sheet, use a cookie dough scoop to evenly scoop out the cookie dough balls.
Bake for about 13-15 minutes, or until the bottoms have turned a light golden brown.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the reserved butter and apple cider mixture for a couple of seconds in the microwave.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon into a small bowl big enough to dunk a cookie in.
Brush the tops of each cookie with the browned butter and apple cider mixture, dunk them into the cinnamon sugar and enjoy!
