Directions

  1. 1. Put the filling ingredients in a saucepan and cook gently for about 10 to 15 minutes. Apples should be soft but still hold their shape. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. 2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  3. 3. For the shortcake: Beat the eggs into a bowl. In a saucepan melt the butter and sugar together. Mix the eggs in with the butter mixture then add to the flour. Mix thoroughly.
  4. 4. Press just over half the shortcake mixture into a lightly greased 7 inch round baking dish. Place the apples on top using a slotted spoon. Put the rest of the shortcake mix on top in small lumps. Sprinkle with cinnamon and/or nutmeg.
  5. 5. Bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream and caramel sauce.
