All it takes is 5 minutes and 6 ingredients, seven if you count ice cream, to throw this gorgeous caramel apple crisp together.
So I've had a craving for apple crisp for almost 6 weeks now. You'd think I would have gotten round to making it. But life has been BUSY!!! Well in between the madness, it really was yesterday ( I worked 7am-3pm and 4:30pm-10:30pm) and made this in between that short little break.
Now, I do realize apple baking isn't really in "season" but for me apple baking is all year long! Cooked apples are one of my all time favorite desserts, whether they are baked in a cake, topped with a crumble, inside a pie, on their own, inside a cookie.. you name it I like it! All kinds of baked fruit are the best, especially this Peach Raspberry Galette Recipe.
While my nan has been here she laughs at me, a normal person would take that hour and a half break and relax. But me? No I bake. And create a mess to clean up, and stress myself out most of the time cuz I really don't have the time to bake, clean, photograph OH and write the recipe down.
Luckily this recipe is DEAD easy! I had salted caramel in the fridge so I used salted but feel free to use good ol' caramel. Melt some of the wrapped caramels with a little cream or use store bought ice cream caramel topping. Anyway you play it this will be amazing.

Caramel Apple Crisp
All it takes is 5 minutes and 6 ingredients, seven if you count ice cream, to throw this gorgeous caramel apple crisp together.
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 6 Portions 1x
Ingredients
- 4 Small-Medium Sized Granny Smith/ Cooking Apples
- 6oz (¾ Cup) Caramel, homemade or storebought
- 100 gram ( 1 Cup) Old-Fashioned Oats/ Rolled Oats
- 157 grams ( 1 ¼ Cup) All-purpose Flour/ Plain Flour
- 150 grams (¾ cup) Brown Sugar
- 6oz (¾ Cup) Unsalted Butter, at room temp
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Spray a 9X9 square baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Peel your apples and slice thin-medium sized slices. Place apples directly inside the pan. Drizzle ¾ cup caramel on top and mix together so all apples are coated.
- In a medium bowl mix together oats, flour, sugar and butter. Sprinkle evenly on top of apples. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown top. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
If you don't want to make Salted Caramel store bought caramel will work fine. Or melt wrapped caramels with some heavy cream.

Just saw this on IG and had to jump over to grab your recipe right away. I agree, apples are an all year round treat. I am always impressed by how hard you work at the restaurant... and still have time to do what you love. It really makes me realize that I need to use my time more wisely. (I feel my day gets away from me sometimes.)
I love how easy this creation is to whip up. ... you're just amazing! Have a fabulous weekend, my friend!

I have a question. I do love apple crisp, but I was wondering if it would still work if you didn't add the oats. I have never tried to make one without the oats. I love the idea of apple crisp with like a strudel topping. I guess that wouldn't be technically a crisp. I get confused between crisp, cobbler, buckle...execedra. I think a strudel topping, like on a pie or coffee cake, would be delicious. I am not a fan of pie crust, however I do love the rest of the ingredients. So I guess it would be like a dutch apple pie without crust? Would your ingredients work without the oats? Thank you so much for taking the time to share your amazing recipes. The experienced and less experienced bakers/cooks appreciate you sharing your delicious recipes and having clear and instructions that are easy to follow.

Hi, Jenny thanks for reaching out, sorry for my delayed response. So I would try my rhubarb crumble topping recipe and omit the oats and add the same amount of grams in flour. I personally have never done it but you should be just fine! I know it's super confusing between all of the fruit with topping bakes, I feel ya on that!! I appreciate your kind words as I do spend so much time trying to be very thorough so it's great to hear it is appreciated! 🙂 Let me know if you try any of the crumble/crisp recipes without the oats and how you get on, would love to hear. Hope you have a lovely weekend. XX Liz
