Description
This Chocolate Chip Cookie Apple Crumble for Two is a cozy fall dessert that combines tender, spiced apples with a buttery chocolate chip cookie crumble topping. It’s perfect for sharing and bakes up beautifully in individual ramekins.
Ingredients
- Apple Filling:
- 1 cup apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Cookie Crumble Topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oats
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or set out two 6-ounce ramekins.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Divide the apple mixture evenly between the two ramekins. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool slightly while preparing the topping.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, salt, and oats. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. The topping will be crumbly.
- Evenly divide and spoon the crumble topping over the baked apples. Smooth out gently.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 15 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Best served warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- You can substitute other firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for a slightly tart flavor.
- Make ahead tip: prepare the apple filling and topping separately, refrigerate, and assemble just before baking.
