  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • CRUMB CRUST AND TOPPING:
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup good quality caramel sauce plus more for serving
  • APPLE FILLING:
  • 3 generous cups peeled, thinly sliced Granny Smith apples (about 2-3 apples)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour

 Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9x9 square baking pan.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy and combined. Add flour, oats, salt and baking soda and beat until combined and crumbly, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Reserve 1 ½ cups for the topping. Press the remaining crumble mixture into the bottom of the greased 9x9 pan, pressing it into an even layer
In a separate bowl, combine all ingredients for apple filling. Toss until well combined. Dump the apple mixture on top of the crust and spread it out evenly. Crumble the reserved topping over the apples, pressing some of it together to form clumps. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender (insert a sharp knife to check). Place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Drizzle with ⅓ cup caramel sauce. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled. Optional: top with ice cream and additional caramel sauce.
