Apple Crumble Cookies

Spouse came up with this idea for a cookie version of a classic fall dessert, Apple Crumble and they are utterly delicious!

There is also plenty of warm spice flavour added but you can cut back on the level of spices if you prefer.

I like Red Delicious Apples for this recipe but you can use any kind you like.

We found that, like many cookies, these bake better at a larger, coffee house style size. So, double the recipe if you need more than a dozen at a time.

Once you taste the first one you might need a double batch because these are going to disappear fast.

These cookies are utterly delicious with the optional addition of pecans. Try other nuts that you like instead, like almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts. 

The recipe can used dried fruits too so don’t be afraid to experiment with other dried fruits like cherries or apricots. I’ll bet cherry and hazelnut or almond would be particularly good together.

Notes

Recipe Notes

TIPS for baking chewy cookies.- Baking times to get chewy cookie recipes just right, can vary by a couple of minutes depending on your oven and the type of metal pan being used. I find aluminum cookie sheets best as they do not burn so readily as darker metal pans. - Experiment with baking a few cookies at a time and get the timing and temperature perfect for your oven and baking pans.- Always chill your cookie dough. Warm dough will spread quickly on the pan and you'll have flat cookies.- Parchment paper is best for cookie sheets. Greasing a pan can increase the likelihood of burning the bottoms of cookies, particularly in ovens that run hot.- Chewy cookies tend to fall a little at the centers when they come out of the oven. This is perfectly normal and a cookie that is a minute under baked is always better than a cookie that is a minute over baked.
