Ingredients

Apple Filling

Caramel Sauce

Crumb Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425° and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Caramel Sauce

  • Add sugar and water to a heavy bottom sauce pan, and cook over low heat. Stirring occasionally.
  • Once sugar has dissolved and is boiling, increase heat to medium.
  • Swirl the pan gently a few times, carefully not creating too much sauce on the sides of the pan.
  • Continue cooking for 5-8 minutes or until sugar has caramelized and is toffee colored.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in the heavy cream, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.

Crumb Topping

  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix flour, oatmeal, and brown sugar together.
  • Using two forks or your fingers, mix together the butter and flour mixture until you have coarse crumbs.

Apple Filling

  • Peel, core, and slice the apples into ½ slices.
  • In a large bowl, add the apple slices, cinnamon, ginger, and lemon juice.
  • Add to the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
  • Cover with caramel sauce.
  • Top with the crumb topping.
  • Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until crisp has browned and caramel is bubbling.

Notes

  • Use a rimmed sheet pan. The caramel and apple juices will bubble while baking, so you need raised edges.
  • Slice the apples evenly. Consistent slices cook at the same rate.
  • Watch the caramel closely. Once the sugar begins changing color, it can go from caramelized to burned quickly.
  • Be careful when adding cream. The hot caramel may bubble vigorously when the cream is added.
  • Don't overcrowd the apples. A relatively even layer helps create those caramelized edges.
  • Keep the crumb mixture coarse. Bigger crumbs create a more interesting crispy texture.
  • Let it rest before serving. The caramel will be extremely hot straight from the oven and will thicken slightly as it cools.
