Why You Should Make This

This is the perfect fall dessert. The caramel apple and cinnamon sugar flavor combos bring the fall vibes. All it takes is an hour and some common pantry staples to make this delicious dessert. 

While this can be made any time of year, this Caramel Apple Crisp recipe is phenomenal with fresh apples that you just picked from your local apple orchard- truly the ultimate fall dessert!

Ingredients Needed

• Apples: I used Granny Smith Apples.
• Caramel sauce: Use your favorite brand of store-bought caramel sauce or make my
• Kosher salt: for the apple mixture and topping
• Flour: For the topping and apple mixture.
• Sugar: White sugar for the apple mixture and brown sugar for the topping
• Cinnamon: For both the topping and the apples
• Butter: Use real butter.
• Oats: Use old-fashioned oats for the topping.

How To Make Caramel Apple Crisp

• Step 1: Prep the apples by cleaning, peeling, coring, and slicing them. Place apple slices in a large bowl and toss with sugar, cinnamon, and flour. 
• Step 2: Prep the cast iron skillet by spreading butter around the bottom. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared skillet. Drizzle caramel sauce over the coated apples and bake. 

• Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients. Stir the flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, oats, and cold butter together. 
• Step 4: Spread oat topping mixture over caramel apple filling and bake.

Recipe Tips

• If you don’t want to make this in a cast iron skillet, you can use a baking dish. Just keep an eye on it as it cooks. 
• You’ll know the classic  is ready when the apples are tender to the touch and the caramel is bubbly inside of the skillet.
• For best results, store any apple dessert leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The topping may change texture over time. 
• You can freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
