How to Make Sugar Cookie Apple Crisp

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
Add 4 medium apples (about 4 cups peeled and sliced) and toss gently to coat.
Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a food processor, combine 1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough and 1/2 cup rolled oats. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (For a chunkier topping, skip the food processor and break the cookie dough into pieces by hand.)
Stir in any desired add-ins (chocolate chips, dried fruit, etc.) after processing if using.
Sprinkle the cookie crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
Let cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
