A scratch made cookie filled with fresh apple chunks with cinnamon are totally, insanely delicious.The apple make the cookies wonderfully moist and chewy. Once you taste the first one you might need a double batch because these are going to disappear fast.
These apple crumble cookies are crispy edged , chewy with the added flavor of a fragrantly spiced apple crumble, it is just addictive. If you prefer you can add plenty of warm spices. I found that, like many cookies, these bake better at a larger, coffee house style size, so double the recipe if you need more than a dozen at a time.
These cookies are utterly delicious with the optional addition of nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts. It's got the taste and texture of an apple crumble and it's dead easy to throw together and its ready in just 20 minutes.
