Peel and dice apples into small, even pieces. Place in a bowl and toss with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Place apples in a medium frying pan, add butter.  Cook apples at medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until preferred tenderness.  Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15-20 min.

While the apples are cooking go ahead and prepare the shortbread crumbs and whipped cream.  Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cornstarch in a chilled bowl.  Beating on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use. 

Blend shortbread cookies in a food processor until only fine crumbs remain.
