Description
Tender apples spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg nestle beneath a crisp oat topping. After baking, warm caramel is drizzled over the hot fruit for a sweet, buttery crunch that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl combine apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice; toss to coat.
- Spread the apple mixture in a 9×9-inch baking dish and drizzle half of the caramel sauce evenly over the apples.
- In another bowl mix oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt; stir in melted butter until coarse crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
- Remove from oven and drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the hot crisp.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness.
- Prepare the oat topping ahead and keep chilled until ready to bake.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
