For a richer flavor, use homemade orange marmalade.
If you don't have amaretto liqueur, you can substitute with almond extract, but use sparingly as it can be quite potent.
To prevent the cookie topping from burning, loosely tent the dish with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking if needed.
This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Feel free to adjust the amount of amaretto liqueur to your liking. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste.
