Why you’ll love this 3-ingredient apple crisp recipe


Apple crumble is my family’s favorite dessert and this super quick and easy recipe is my go-to on busy days.


  • Quick and easy recipe: With 3 ingredients and 5 minutes of hands-on prep time only, this apple crumble makes a great dessert for busy weeknights or lazy weekends.
  • Versatile crisp: You can customize this crumble with different types of seasonal fruit, cookies, and toppings. A great base recipe to get creative with.


Ingredients and substitutions
  • Apples: I recommend using a variety of apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji.
  • Biscoff cookies: I use original Lotus Biscoff biscuits but other spiced cookies such as ginger snaps, German gingerbread, or spekuloos are delicious as well. Or simply use plain vanilla cookies.
  • Butter: Unsalted butter is best but you can also use lightly salted butter.


See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.


Variations


Spice it up: Add 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or my Christmas spice mix to the apple mixture to spice it up even more.

Oat crisp: Replace the Biscoff biscuits with your favorite oat based granola for a heartier texture.

    Do you put the cookies on top of the apples (step 5) or pour the water over the apples (step 7)? I'm confused

      Water isn’t counted as ingredient and the powdered sugar isn’t added into the dish… and it’s also optional. lol.
