Apple Crisp is a classic Fall favorite! Adding caramel gives it an extra sweet boost and really brings out the season. This easy recipe can be prepared in under an hour (that includes bake time) and is completely homemade. The caramel is baked in with the apples and creates an gooey layer under the crispy oat topping. It’s perfect topped with some vanilla bean ice cream or some fresh whipped cream made by Creamsta.

For the crumb topping:

For the Apple filling:
- 6-8 large Granny Smith apples peeled and sliced thin

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Peel and slice apples into bite size pieces.
3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter and flour until well blended. Add lemon juice, milk and vanilla and stir well. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour butter mixture over apples and toss to coat. Pour apple mixture into an 9×13-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer.
4. In a mixing bowl (I used my Kitchen-aid mixer), combine the crumb topping ingredients =r until it resembles small crumbs. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the apples.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and top is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
