I like that this is supposed to be a variation on apple pie and apple cobbler, since both are delicious. I also like the use of shortbread for the crust. I will definitely make this at some point, since it isn't any more difficult than the original recipes. In actuality, it is probably easier.

These look wonderful! I love apple cobbler anyway, and this version has a lot going for it. I'm used to apple cobbler being served warm, so this refrigerated cobbler that's more like a bar is a great variation. I normally have apple cobbler with either whipped cream or ice cream, and these look like they'd be perfect just by themselves. I might add some raisins to the filling, plus some chopped walnuts would be a good addition to the upper topping.

I just bought a bag of apples, and I am looking for good, not too complicated recipes to bake. I think these will be perfect. A recipe that bakes in an 8-inch dish is great for a small family. I feel like most dessert recipes are made in a 13x9 pan, and that's way too much for us. I know this will smell heavenly when it's baking!
