What Makes This Caramel Apple Crisp So Good!💕
Is there anything better than the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven?!

The apples bake up soft and tender, the topping turns golden, and every bite has that sweet, cozy flavor that just feels like fall!
I know pumpkin desserts get lots of love this time of year, but these apples might just make you want to save a little more room for apple desserts! This homemade apple crisp is such a delicious way to switch things up, especially when you’re craving something sweet for your fall baking list.
And you HAVE to serve it with vanilla ice cream and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce! The cold, creamy ice cream melting into those warm apples, with all that buttery crumble on top? SO good! It’s simple enough to make without a lot of fuss, but special enough to share at your next holiday get-together.

Baked Apple Crisp with Caramel
Ingredients
Apple Filling:
- 6 large Pazzaz apples, cored, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Vanilla ice cream
- Caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Topping: Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and salt in a food processor until uniform. Add in butter and pulse until evenly distributed throughout, then add oats and mix until combined.
- Pazzaz Apple Filling: Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, apple slices and salt, stir to combine. Cook the apples for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until apples begin to soften. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup caramel sauce. Pour the apple filling into 9″ pie dish and spread evenly. Apply topping over the apples and bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown. Cool for 30 minutes before serving. Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel.
- Tip: Put foil or a baking sheet under apple crisp when baking to avoid a mess in the oven.
Notes
- Apple slices. Try to cut the apples into similar thicknesses so they cook evenly. Very thick slices may stay firm while thinner ones soften faster.
- Caramel sauce. If your caramel sauce is very thick, gently warm it before mixing it into the apple filling so it’s easier to distribute.
