It’s fall, y’all!
Ok, so maybe it’s not quite fall yet, but September is here and with it a glimpse of some cooler temperatures. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a little lazy on my garden watering and general landscaping upkeep.
Summer’s heat has me a little tired and ready for some sweater weather…and apple things!
I’m always in the mood for a good cookie and this is a GOOD COOKIE!
Jamie Oliver knocked it out of the park again with this 5-ingredient recipe that makes a cookie unlike anything I’ve ever had before.
It’s got the taste and texture of an apple crumble and it’s dead easy to throw together. 20 minutes and boom: You’ve got cookies!
All you have to do ahead of time is pick up a bag of dried apples at the grocery store (I like Granny smith, myself).
I hope we are all able to savor the last of summer and ease into fall, enjoying this special changing of the guards in season.
Apple Crumble Cookies
Get the taste of fall packed into these 5-ingredient, quick and delicious Apple Crumble Cookies.
Ingredients
- 100 g or 3.5 oz. dried (Granny smith) apple
- 1 cup self-raising flour (or 1 cup AP flour with 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt mixed in)
- 7 tbs. cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 400ºF. Line baking tray with parchment paper or a Silpat.
-
In a food processor, blend the apple until finely chopped, then add in the flour, cubed butter, sugar and a pinch of sea salt. Mix to fine crumbs for 1 minute, then remove 3 tbs. of the mixture and set aside. Pulse in the egg until combined.
-
Divide dough into 18-24 pieces (or use a cookie scoop), roll into balls, then press down lightly with your thumb to make them into rounds with a dip in the middle. Sprinkle the reserved mixture on top of the dip in each cookie, lightly pressing it in.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Leave to cool slightly, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
