Salted Caramel Apple Crisp

Ingredients:

For the Apple Filling

  • 10 cups sliced apples (see post for more on this)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Crumb Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Garnish

  • 1 cup salted caramel sauce
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling, optional
  • Ice cream, for serving, optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).

For the Apple Filling

Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice; set aside.

In a medium bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss well to coat. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and set aside while you make the crumb topping.

For the Crumb Topping

In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, pecans, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

Sprinkle over apple mixture.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crumb is golden and the apples are tender.

Drizzle with salted caramel sauce and serve warm, with flaky sea salt and ice cream, if desired.
