Apple Shortbread Crisp

I seriously think this was one of the best things I have ever tasted! You must make it! Now!

You will need:
2 (12-ounce) packages frozen apple chunks (I used Stouffer's Harvest Apples)
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
20 shortbread cookies, crushed (I used Keebler Sandies Simply Shortbread)
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
vanilla ice cream

1. Prick plastic wrap covering apple chunks several times with a fork; microwave at Medium 7 minutes or until apple is thawed. Let stand 2 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium hear; add cookie crumbs and nuts. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3. Combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle in a lightly greased 1-quart baking dish. Sprinkle half of apple over brown sugar mixture; top with half of the cookie crumb mixture. Repeat layers with remaining apple and crumb mixture.
