Apple Shortbread Crisp Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Prick plastic wrap covering apple chunks several times with a fork; microwave at medium power (50%) for 7 minutes or until apple is thawed. Let stand 2 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add cookie crumbs and walnuts. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and nutmeg.
• 3. Combine 2 Tbsp. brown sugar and remaining 1/2 tsp. cinnamon; sprinkle in a lightly greased 1-quart baking dish. Sprinkle half of apple over brown sugar mixture; top with half of cookie crumb mixture. Repeat layers with remaining apple and crumb mixture. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
• Sift four, 1/2 cup sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in egg yolks (mixture will be crumbly). Remove 1/4 of mixture, and set aside. Press remainder onto bottom and sides an 8 inch tart shell or pie pan.
• In a large bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Place apples into crust, and sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over top.
• Place pie on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking 20 minutes, or until top is golden brown and filling is bubbling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. In a large bowl, combine the shortbread ingredients and mix with hands until pea-sized crumbs form. Press into an ungreased 9x13 pan. Poke shortbread with fork and place in oven for 15 minutes. While the shortbread is baking, peel, core, and slice the apples. Mix with the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside. After 15 minutes remove the shortbread and reduce head to 350. In a medium bowl combine the ingredients for the crumb topping. Pour the apples over the shortbread and the crumb topping over the apples. Place back in oven and bake until the sides of the crumb topping begin to brown and apples are soft about 35-45 minutes.
