One of the things I like best about being a part of a baking group is not having to decide what to make for my next holiday meal. This apple speculoos crumble was a great accompaniment to the pumpkin pie that was served at our Thanksgiving meal. Not only did it taste good but it was easy to make which is a plus on Thanksgiving day. The hardest part of this dish was not eating the speculoos cookies while I was breaking them up.

First I cut up four apples into chunks, added a tablespoon of sugar and 3 tablespoons of raisins. The messy part was breaking up all the speculoos cookies and mixing with half cup of butter. The dish is baked at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes. I put foil on my after 20 minutes as the cookies started to burn.

The reviews were good. Everyone liked it especially with pumpkin pie. I wish I had taken a picture of my son’s dessert plate which was covered with whipped cream. Ah, the excess of the holidays.

Near or far where ever you are, wishing you happy holidays. I am thankful for Tuesdays with Dorie and all my fellow bakers. To see what others made this week head over to Tuesdays with Dorie.
