Gingersnap Apple Crisp

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a shallow 2-quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, combine the cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and zest and 1/3 of the brown sugar. Stir to coat the apples thoroughly. Set aside.
3. 3
   In a food processor or blender, add the cookies and pulse until crumbly. Pour the cookie crumbs into a bowl with the remaining brown sugar and the butter. Using a pastry blender or your hands combine the mixture until clumps start to form, about the size of peas.
4. 4
   Transfer the apples to the baking dish and sprinkle the cookie mixture over the top. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake until bubbling, approximately 55-60 minutes. Remove dish from the oven, set it on a rack and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
