Speculoos Apple Pie (Thermomix Recipe)
Speculoos apple pie is a comforting dessert that combines tender spiced apples with the deep caramelized flavor of speculoos biscuits. Made easily in the Thermomix, this pie has a crisp, buttery crust, a warmly spiced apple filling, and a rich speculoos layer that sets it apart from a classic apple pie.
Speculoos (also known as Biscoff) biscuits bring notes of cinnamon, brown sugar, and spice that pair beautifully with apples. Using the Thermomix simplifies every step—from preparing the pastry dough to cooking the apple filling evenly—making this an excellent recipe for both beginner and experienced Thermomix cooks.
This pie is perfect for autumn gatherings, holidays, or anytime you want a dessert that feels familiar yet special.

Ingredients
Pastry Dough
-
300 g all-purpose flour
-
150 g cold unsalted butter, cubed
-
70 g sugar
-
1 egg
-
1 pinch salt
Apple Filling
-
5–6 medium apples (about 800 g), peeled and sliced
-
60 g brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
15 g lemon juice
-
20 g cornstarch
Speculoos Layer
-
150 g speculoos biscuits
-
60 g melted butter
Step 1: Make the Pastry Dough (Thermomix)
Place the flour, butter, sugar, egg, and salt into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 20 seconds / speed 5 until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a disc. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the dough firm up and ensures a crisp crust when baked.
Step 2: Prepare the Speculoos Base
Add the speculoos biscuits to the Thermomix bowl. Crush for 10 seconds / speed 7 until you have fine crumbs.
Add the melted butter and mix for 10 seconds / speed 4. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
Set aside. This layer will add a rich, spiced flavor between the crust and the apples.
Step 3: Cook the Apple Filling (Thermomix)
Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), vanilla, and lemon juice to the Thermomix bowl. Cook for 10 minutes / 100°C / reverse / speed spoon.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water. Add it to the apples and cook for an additional 2 minutes / 100°C / reverse / speed spoon until the mixture thickens slightly.
Allow the filling to cool for 10–15 minutes before assembling the pie.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish.
Roll out the chilled pastry dough and gently press it into the pie dish. Trim excess dough and prick the base lightly with a fork.
Spread the speculoos mixture evenly over the bottom of the crust, pressing it down gently.
Spoon the apple filling on top, spreading it evenly.
If desired, use leftover dough to create a lattice or decorative top. Alternatively, leave the pie open-faced for a rustic look.
Step 5: Bake
Bake the pie for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling gently.
If the edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set properly.
Serving Suggestions
Speculoos apple pie is best served slightly warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with:

The spiced biscuit base adds richness, so a simple topping works best.
