Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Apple Filling
  • 6 medium apples Granny Smith + Honeycrisp mix is best, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
Crisp Topping
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup caramel sauce homemade or store-bought

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Spread evenly in baking dish.
  3. Stir oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples.
  4. Bake uncovered 40–45 minutes, until topping is golden and apples are bubbly.
  5. Drizzle warm caramel sauce over crisp before serving.
  6. Best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use a mix of tart (Granny Smith) and sweet (Honeycrisp, Gala) apples for best flavor.
  • If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  • Homemade caramel adds extra depth, but jarred sauce works beautifully.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temp for 2 days, or refrigerate up to 4.
