The French love simple homecoohing desserts, especially crumbles. The topping here is deliciously flavored with pieces of crunched Speculoos biscuit. With apples, feel free to test with other fruits.
Grind speculoos into rough powder (with mortar or blender), not too thin grind. Combine this with the sugar and flour.
Cut cold butter into cubes. Add butter to flour - Speculoos - sugar mix. Combine with your fingertips to gradually get the crumble texture (you can use a food processor if you are used to it).
Prepare apples
Peel, seed and cut the apples into cubes.
Place them at the bottom of an oven proof dish, sprinkle brown sugar and pour in water. Combine to coat well with sugar and moisten apples.
Finish and bake
Pour over the crumble topping. Cover the apples well but do not flatten, it’s fine if it is roughly spread..
