Apple crumble is ultimate autumn food, a warm bowl of it with custard is so perfect to cosy up with on a cold night. I've added a Biscoff twist to this apple crumble recipe, because well if you can't tell from my website already, I'm a bit obsessed with Biscoff!! So a Biscoff Apple Crumble had to happen. I've mixed crushed Lotus biscoff biscuits into the crumble mix, and added generous spoonfuls of smooth Biscoff spread in the apple mix. When it bakes the lumps of spread go all gooey and mix with the apples, it's so delicious!!

How to make a Biscoff Apple Crumble

To make the crumble topping, stir the sugar and flour together, then use your fingers to rub in the butter. Then mix in the crushed Biscoff biscuits. For the apple mix, chop and peel the apples and mix them with the spices, lemon juice, sugar and cornflour.

Put the apple mix into a baking dish, and add blobs of Biscoff spread all over. Then cover it with the crumble mix and bake for 40 minutes until golden and bubbling.

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff spread, made by the brand Lotus, is also known as cookie butter. It has a deep caramel flavour and a hint of cinnamon and other spices. Lotus are best known for their biscuits, which are commonly served with coffee. The biscuits are used to make the spread, and you can buy it in crunchy and smooth varieties. The spread is similar to Nutella or peanut butter in terms of texture, but it has a unique flavour. It is not gluten free, but it is vegan.

What are the best apples to use for apple crumble?

It's best to use either cooking apples, which are the very large and bulbous apples you'll find in the shop. Or, use an apple variety that is both crisp and tart, for example Granny Smith or Pink Lady. Golden Delicious will also work well. I actually used apples from the tree in my dad's garden for this recipe, so if it's apple season it's a great way to use some of them up!

Do you need to peel the apples?

I definitely recommend coring apples for apple crumble, however peeling them is not necessary if you are in a rush. Although, I do much prefer them peeled and it's more enjoyable to eat the crumble without apple peel, especially if the apple variety you use has a tougher skin.

Tips for making the Biscoff Apple Crumble

You can make the crumble topping by hand or using a food processor, just make sure if you are using a food processor not to over mix it.
You can freeze the uncooked crumble mix in a ziploc bag, you can also freeze the baked apple crumble in the freezer in sealed tubs. I recommend portioning it out before freezing.
If you like you can mix some porridge oats into the crumble topping too, or add sultanas to the apple mix.
If you don't have light brown sugar, you can also use caster sugar.
