Baked Shortbread Apple Dessert image

Just a lovely comforting dessert that I've enjoyed making over the years and a nice change from the standard baked apple pie. It is great using the Girl Scout Shortbread cookies too. You can also substitute the shortbread cookies with oatmeal cookies.

This dessert was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would look for a simpler recipe next time.

The apples were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would use a sweeter variety next time.

The shortbread crust was a bit dry. I think I would add more butter next time.

This dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This dessert is so easy to make and it always turns out great. I love that I can use whatever apples I have on hand. It's also a great way to use up leftover shortbread cookies.

I'm not usually a fan of apple desserts, but this one changed my mind. The shortbread crust was so good and the apples were perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again!

This is a classic dessert that never disappoints. I've been making it for years and it's always a hit. The only thing I change is that I add a bit of lemon zest to the shortbread crust for an extra burst of flavor.

I love the combination of apples and shortbread. This dessert is perfect for a fall gathering. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and it was a real crowd-pleaser.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dessert turned out beautifully. I used Granny Smith apples and they held their shape well during baking. The cinnamon and nutmeg added a warm and inviting flavor. Overall, I was very pleased with the results.
