Dice all the dried fruit and Granny Smith apple and sauté in a pan with the apple juice. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, nuts and vanilla and stir. Cover to let steam on low heat for 2-3 minutes - If you need to, you can add more apple juice if mixture is too dry. Remove from heat. In a processor (or a simple plastic bag), crush vanilla cookies to make an easy crumble topping. Serve warm fruit mixture with crumbled cookies on top and a topping of whipped cream.  ENJOY!
