Olive Garden Apple Carmelina
Description
This recipe combines drained canned apple slices with sugar, brown sugar, apple pie spice, salt, and flour to create a sweet, spiced filling. Transferred to a buttered baking dish, the filling is topped with a mixture of flour, salt, brown sugar, white sugar, and softened butter worked together until coarse crumbs form. The streusel topping adds a crunchy texture complementing the soft cooked apples.
Baked at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, the dessert develops a golden crust over the spiced apple base. Serving it with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce enhances the warm flavors with creaminess and rich sweetness, echoing classic fall desserts.
For fresh apples, peeling, coring, chopping, and gently cooking them in water until tender before using will approximate the texture of canned fruit. The recommended apple varieties for fresh use are Braeburn or Honey Crisp.
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 2 cans apple 20 ounces each, drained, sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter softened
Serving
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- ¼ cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- To make the apple filling, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a lightly buttered 8x8-inch baking dish.
- To make the topping, combine the flour, salt, and both sugars in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Work the softened butter into the dry ingredients. The mixture should look like a coarse meal.
- Sprinkle the topping over the apple filling and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Serve topped with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Notes
- For fresh apple filling, peel, core, and chop about 3 1/2 pounds of apples such as Braeburn or Honey Crisp.
- Cook fresh apples gently in water over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until tender, then drain and pat dry before using.
- Canned apples are drained and sliced before mixing with sugars and spices.
