Shortbread Apple Crisp

When I found a recipe  for Shortbread Apple Crisp in a Southern Living cookbook I knew I had to try it.  I made a few modifications but the result was very good so I decided to share it here.  Enjoy!


Printable Recipe

Ingredients
5 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
6 Tbsp butter
20 Shortbread cookies, crushed
¼  cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp cinnamon, divided
¼  tsp nutmeg
2 Tbsp light brown sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.  Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.  Add cookies and cook for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and add ¼ cup brown sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Stir to blend.  Set aside.

Mix remaining brown sugar and cinnamon and spread over the bottom of a 1 qt casserole dish.  Spoon half of the apples into the dish, then top with half of the cookie mixture. Layer remaining apples and top with remaining cookie mixture.  Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender. 



Note:  If topping browns too quickly, cover with foil until apples are tender.
