In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, shortening, and sugar.
Add vanilla and eggs and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, salt, apple pie spice, and almond flour.
Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix well.
Gently fold in dried apples and ½ cup of butterscotch chips.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the lined cookie sheet, a few inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden brown.
Allow to set 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, add remaining butterscotch chips and cook for one minute at a time, stirring in between. It should take about 3 minutes.
Spoon into a ziplock bag, cut a tiny corner, and pipe onto cookie as desired.
Allow to set, and enjoy!
