Chocolate Chip Cookie Apple Crumble For Two
Chocolate Chip Cookie Apple Crumble For Two combine chocolate chip cookies and apples into one fall treat.
It seems that the latest trend in desserts is fruit with cookies on top. Or at least that’s what I kept seeing on Pinterest.
Of course I can’t find the link to the first recipe I saw, but I believe it was oatmeal cookies on top of peach cobbler. Another one used snickerdoodles.
Then I saw a chocolate chip cookie crumble and fell in love.
You can pretty much win my heart with chocolate chip cookies and knew I had to make my own.
Seeing that I had a ton of apples in the kitchen, I made a fall version with Chocolate Chip Cookie Apple Crumble For Two.
In my mind I keep calling it a crisp, but because there are oats in the topping, it is technically a crumble.
And yes, it’s another dessert for two recipe. I can’t help but be obsessed with making them, like with my peach cobbler for two and blueberry cobbler for two.
There are so many possibilities for small batch desserts when you own ramekins (Amazon affiliate link).
Do you like it when I make small desserts like this? Or is it getting redundant?
Whatever your answer may be, I hope you will at least give these mini apple crumbles a try!
I first made these crumbles after I made my mini apple pie for two.
Since I was feeding four people, I doubled the recipe. You can even cut the recipe in half for a single serving crumble.
The filling is based off of my homemade apple pie filling.
And if you’re reading this post when it’s not apple season, you can use almost any fruit you want. Try it with peach pie filling or cherry pie filling.
Or stick with the fall theme and make pear crisp.
As I’m sitting here typing and looking out the window, the leaves are starting to change colors.
Although fall is taking its time to arrive, I can’t wait. I recently discovered a hiking trail near me that goes through the woods to this (not impressive) waterfall.
As I walked through the trees, I couldn’t help but imagine its beauty once the leaves fully change, especially since there are a few wooden bridges too.
I can’t wait to go back with my camera and capture fall.

Oh wow…. this looks and sounds deeeelish! I have a ton of apples right now and this looks pretty simple to make. Pinned!
I think I see these crumbles in your future ;)
I first discovered the flavor combination of apples + chocolate when studying abroad in the Calvados region of Normandy, France. I LOVE it, and can’t wait to try this recipe!
Oh sounds like a great memory! I studied abroad in Ireland myself and miss it so much. I bet you miss France as well. Hopefully these crumbles will make it a little bit better ;)
Not at all tired of desserts for two but I will not make this one as chocolate chip cookies are not my favorite and I don’t particularly like mixing chocolate with fruit for dessert. SO……I think I will put sugar cookie dough from a tube on top and see how that works OR an oat meal cookie dough (my favorite)
Actually, if you leave out the chocolate chips, it’s pretty much an oatmeal cookie dough. I do love the sugar cookie dough idea too!
I think I need a “Dessert for Two Date Night” in which I have a date and make every one of your desserts for two. This one is at the top of my list – two of my very favourite things in one dish!
Yes! Sounds like the best date night ever ;)
I love a good apple crumble but never would have thought to make a chocolate chip apple crumble before. These look and sound so delicious. Great recipe!
It’s a great twist on a classic, so you’ll have to try it soon ;)
Cookies as crumble? Fabulous idea, Carla! Clearly I need to get out more because I don’t think I’ve seen that yet.
Being the dessert queen, Liz probably knows about this so it’s just me.
You can try these crumbles along with your poppy seed bread. Just uh don’t get caught :D
So i tried this with Guava (as I didnt have any apples), and I replaced quite a few things.. AND I HAD SUCCESS !! It tasted delicious .. unfortunately I finished it before I had a chance to click it.. therefore I cant post any pics…
Never would have thought of using guava! Glad it worked out for you :D
