• 100g unsalted butter (cold)
• 100g golden caster sugar
• 1 large egg

How To Make Ingredients Apple Crumble Cookies?

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200ºC. Line two trays with greaseproof paper and lightly grease them with olive oil.
2. Chop the apple: Place the dried apple in a food processor and blitz until finely chopped.
3. Make the dough: Add the self-raising flour, cubed butter, sugar, and a pinch of sea salt to the processor. Blend for about a minute until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Remove 3 tablespoons of the mixture and set it aside.
4. Add the egg: Crack in the egg and pulse until everything comes together into a dough. Scrape the sides if needed.
5. Shape the cookies: Divide the dough into 24 pieces, roll them into balls, and press them into 4cm rounds. Place them on the baking trays.
6. Add the topping: Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the cookies and gently press it down.
7. Bake and cool: Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let them cool for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

• Use cold butter for the best texture: Cold butter helps create a crumbly and light cookie texture. If the butter is too soft, the dough will be sticky and the cookies may spread too much.
• Don’t overmix the dough: Once the egg is added, pulse just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can make the cookies tough instead of soft and crumbly.
• Chop the apples very finely: The dried apple should be finely chopped so it blends well into the dough. If the pieces are too big, they can make the cookies uneven in texture.
• Press the crumble topping gently: After sprinkling the reserved crumble mix, lightly press it down so it sticks to the cookies while baking. If you skip this step, the topping may fall off.
• Bake just until golden: Keep an eye on the cookies in the last few minutes. If they turn too dark, they may become dry. Take them out when they are lightly golden for the perfect soft and crumbly texture.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the cookies cool down first. Then, put them in an airtight container. They stay fresh at room temperature for 5 days or in the fridge for up to a week if your kitchen is warm.
• Freeze: Once the cookies are fully cool, put them in a freezer-safe bag or container. You can freeze them for up to 3 months.
