Caramel Apple Almond Crisp
Yield: 12 servings
This easy Caramel Apple Almond Crisp is a warm and comforting fall dessert, filled with fresh apple slices, cinnamon, and caramel, and topped with a crisp and buttery almond topping. Enjoy warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
for the apple filling:
- 6 cups peeled and sliced 1/4" thick apples – use a firm, tart variety such as Haralson, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup caramel topping - this caramel topping works well
for the almond crisp topping:
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats not quick cooking oats
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature (do not melt!)
- ½ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- For the apple filling: Place apple slices in large bowl and sprinkle with orange juice. Stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle over apples and stir again to combine. Transfer mixture to a 9'' x 9'' baking pan.
- Drizzle caramel topping over top of apples.
- For the almond crisp topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add butter and cut it in with a fork or rigid pastry cutter until there are large pea-size crumbs. Then gently fold in the almonds. Sprinkle mixture over the apples.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until apple mixture starts to bubble and the topping is nicely golden. This is best eaten on the day it is made, especially when it is still a bit warm. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
