Ingredients




5 apples, peeled and chopped (I used a combination of Fuji and Honeycrisp)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 lemon, juice and zest
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
25 Ginger Snap cookies (I used Nabisco)
1 stick unsalted butter (I use Land O Lakes)

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2 Grease a shallow 2-quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray. 3 In a large bowl, combine the cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, zest and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.  Stir to coat the apples thoroughly. Set aside. 4 In a food processor or blender, add the cookies and pulse until crumbly. 5 Pour the cookies into a bowl with the remaining brown sugar and butter.  Using a pastry blender or your hands combine the mixture until clumps start to form, about the size of peas. 6 Transfer the apples to the baking dish and sprinkle the cookie mixture over top. 7 Place the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake until bubbling, approximately 55-60 minutes.  Remove and cool for 10 minutes before serving. 8 Serving suggestion….top with freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
