Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2
In an 8x8-inch baking dish, pour the melted butter and tilt the dish to coat the sides evenly.
3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the peeled and sliced cooking apples with vanilla extract until thoroughly coated.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
5
Sprinkle the dry mixture over the apples, stirring gently until all apple slices are well coated with the mixture.
6
Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples start to soften.

While the apples are baking, chop the oatmeal raisin cookie dough into small pieces, slightly larger than chocolate chips.

After 15-20 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the chopped cookie dough over the softened apples. There's no need to fully cover the apples since the dough will spread while baking.
