Best Ever Caramel Apple Crisp

Ingredients

• Apple Filling:
• 5 large Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup water
• Crumble:
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 1 cup butter, softened
• Caramel Sauce:
• 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
• 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 degree C).

In a medium size bowl, toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water; spread evenly into a 8×8 inch pan. In another bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, oats, and butter; spoon mixture evenly over apples.

In a heavy sauce pan over low heat, melt the caramels with the evaporated milk. Heat, stirring frequently, until mixture has a smooth consistency. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the crumble.

Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes (apple mixture will bubble and topping will be golden brown).
