Apple Crumble Cookies
This recipe ticks a lot of boxes:
- Uses oil instead of butter – no waiting for butter to soften, or over softening it in the microwave
- Uses one bowl to mix everything in – little washing up
- Helps to use up old apples you have lying around
- Is acceptable to eat for breakfast
You may wish to tone down the sugar a bit if you wish, but I’ve got Donna Hay’s original recipe down below which I enjoyed. It makes 8 big cookies, but if you want more just divide the dough down into more balls when rolling. They would be great also served warm with vanilla ice-cream.
