Description

A duo of apples and apple cider really amp up the fruity flavor of this apple crisp, while sweet melted caramel adds an unexpected surprise in every bite.

Ingredients

8 baking apples, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup apple cider
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
15 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup butter, cubed

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place apples in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Mix in apple cider and lemon juice.
3 Mix together sugar, brown sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and 1/2 cup flour in a bowl. Sprinkle sugar mixture over sliced apples and top with evenly spaced caramel squares.
4 Mix together brown sugar, oats, 1/2 cup flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice for the topping in a large bowl. Cut in butter cubes with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping over apples in the baking dish.
5 Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Let cool before serving.
