Caramel Apple Crisp Recipe
Description
This recipe makes a classic apple crisp combining tart apples with a sugary oat topping enhanced by cinnamon and salt. The topping is prepared by cutting cold butter into a blend of oats, flour, brown sugar, and spices until it resembles coarse crumbs. Caramel sauce is made separately by melting caramel candies with milk and poured over the apples before baking and again warmed and drizzled atop the finished dish.
Baking at 375°F for about 35 to 45 minutes allows the apples to soften and the topping to brown nicely. The contrast between the tender fruit and crisp topping defines the texture. Serving this dessert warm with ice cream is suggested to complement the caramel and apple flavors.
