Yum! I ended up not doubling the topping, but did have to add 1T more butter to work into the rest, but then had to add more flour to balance it out. So the proportions were a bit off for the crumbly topping... I also only used 1/2 cup sugar and it was plenty (though I was using non-tart apples). I used 4T flour in with the apples. I also used more like 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and I also sprinkled cinnamon in the crumb topping.

These had a yummy sweet taste (I kept the sugar at 1/4 cup, it was a bit sweet, but good). I added almond extract as well, and I think that was a lot of what the good taste was. I'm really unsure if the proportions are really correct or not. My oven cooked them a lot faster, 400 was too high. I did about 4 minutes at 375. Later on they got soft, even though they were very crunchy before (perhaps the muggy weather outside?) and I tried to re-crisp them in the oven but they burned! So don't make my mistake!

The taste is delicious. Very yummy, not overly spicy, not overly sweet. They are super soft and moist. I didn't use nuts, I tossed in dried cranberries and cinnamon chips. I think the cinnamon chips are a huge factor in their yummy taste!! My only problem was that they went quite flat and didn't hold shape very well, they fall apart really easily. I just now read advice to make teaspoon sized cookies, mine were tablespoon-plus -- maybe that would've helped. Refrigerating the dough in between also helped my later batches.
