Ingredients
Crust
- 1 pound salted butter room temp
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla
- 4 cups all purpose flour
Filling
- 14 ounces unwrapped caramels (1 bag)
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 4 Granny Smith apples peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ Tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixing add butter, vanilla, sugar and powdered sugar. Mix with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy.
- Add the flour into the butter mixture slowly. Mix at low speed until all flour is in and a smooth soft dough forms.
- Press ⅓ of the dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan to form the bottom crust. Put the rest on the dough in the fridge to chill until needed.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 17-19 minutes or until the crust is pale golden brown.
- When the crust is done baking let it cool for 15 minutes before topping
- While the crust is cooling, make the filling. Place unwrapped caramels, heavy whipping cream and vanilla in a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir caramels. If the caramels are not melted, put back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until the caramels are melted and smooth.
- In a medium mixing bowl add the diced apples and cornstarch. Mix until the apples are coated with the cornstarch.
- Add the apples to the caramel sauce and mix together.
- Once the crust is cooled pour the caramel apple mixture on top of it and spread out evenly.
- Sprinkle the sea salt on top of the caramel mixture
- Take the chilled dough out of the fridge and crumble it on top of the caramel mixture evenly.
- Put the pan back in the oven and bake for 25-30 min or until the crumbled topping is firm and lightly golden.
