Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 medium Apple peeled, cored, and diced

Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 3 tbsp Butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in the diced apple.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for the crumble topping. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough (we used a cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Sprinkle a spoonful of the crumble topping over each cookie.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops look set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before moving them: they’ll be too soft to handle while warm, but will firm up beautifully as they cool.
