It made a lot of sense to me to use speculoos cookies because they have that "christmas-y" apple pie type of flavors.
Since I had a not-so crispy apple, I decided to try it, instead of throwing the apple out.
Speculoos Apple Crumble : makes 2
oil
1/2 apple, sliced
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
several grinds of cinnamon
2 packages of caramel biscuits a.k.a. speculoos a.k.a. biscoff, crushed
2 pats of butter
Use some oil to grease your ramekins.
After slicing your apples place into the ramekins.
Sprinkle a teaspoon of vanilla sugar on each
Grind cinnamon on each
Crush a package of caramel biscuits (1 package has 2 cookies) onto your apples. (I crushed them with my fingers, because I wanted it chunky) Use 2 cookies for 1 ramekin.
Cut the pat of butter into smaller pieces and place here and there in ramekin (use 1 pat for 1 ramekin)
Bake at 180F (350F) for 30 minutes.
NOTES: I'll admit my crumble was a bit dry, but the aroma from the oven was really nice and overall it was delicious especially with a cup of tea.
I definitely want to try this again, maybe adding some oatmeal and nuts to the topping.

Very Good.
Great use of ingredients! Trader Joe's has a Speculoos spread that is super delicious here in the states.
Hey, neat idea. Just my kind of recipe . . . easy. I never heard of vanilla sugar before.
Thanks Abebe :)
I've seen that on some blogs, K, am totally jealous because in Hawaii we don't have TJs.
Vanilla sugar is made by putting a vanilla pod into some sugar Jalna :) the sugar is "flavored" with the vanilla.
Take care you two.
