A warm carmely apple dessert topped with crunchy walnuts and oats making it the perfect meal any day all day. Technically probably best for dessert or breakfast but I’m not judging. A perfect thanksgiving addition or comfort food on a chilly fall night.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 8×8 glass baking dish and peel, core and cut apples into wedges.
Topping
Whisk together all the ingredients in the topping section except for the unsalted butter. So flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oats, walnuts, salt, cinnamon and all spice.
Add the chilled diced butter and rub with finger tips until small moist clumps form and mixture is crumbly.
Filling
Stir sugar and butter in large skillet over medium heat until smooth sauce forms. Add lemon juice and stir over heat until caramel sauce is a light brown, about 3- 5 minutes.
Keep stirring so that caramel doesn’t burn.
Add salt and the apple wedges, tossing until they are evenly coated with the caramel and slightly cooked. About 2-3 minutes.
Pour apples and caramel sauce into the 8×8 glass baking dish and spread evenly.
Cover the apples with the crumbly topping mixture and spread evenly.
Bake crisp uncovered until top looks golden brown and the filling is thick and bubbling. This should take about 50-55 minutes.
To make the top extra crispy- put the oven on broil and let the topping crisp up for about 1-2 minutes.
Let cool out of the oven for 10- 15 minutes and then serve with ice cream or fresh whipped cream. I suggest both!
