Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Press half the mixture into a greased 13x9 pan. Layer with half the apples, caramels and 1 cup oat mixture. Repeat layers. Pour 1/2 cup cider over the top.


Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes. Drizzle with remaining cider; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until apples are tender.

REVIEWS:

The instructions don't make sense. If you layer with one half of crumb mixture, then half of apples and caramels. Then it says to add 1 cup of the mixture again and then top it with apples and caramels. There's not much crumb mixture to put on 2nd layer of apples. So far the caramels are not melting.

I've reviewed this recipe before, so I'll just add that I like using the caramel bits. I think it distributes the caramel better having it in smaller pieces. I still think this is the best crisp ever, and one of my favorite Fall desserts!

This recipe is a keeper for me. It excels all other apple crisp recipes, in my opinion. I used a whole package of caramel bits instead of regular caramels to save time and work. Results were amazing!

This is delicious; I used the sheets of caramel that you can use to make caramel apples, and it worked great (I used three sheets). I also used an extra 1/2 cup of apple cider, so I did not have a problem with it being too dry. Will definitely make it again!

Making it again today but with a little less sugar. Absolutely delicious!

The taste was okay, but wasn't impressed with the texture. It was gritty, the brown sugar didn't melt.

The first time I made this it was delicious!The next time it was too dry. Maybe I didn't cut the caramels small enough. This is our son's favorite crisp recipe. Can you use the caramel bits or caramel ice cream topping?

I made this for my boys on a cool fall day and it was a hit! So easy and fun to make with kids also.

My family didn't like the caramel, maybe because mine didn't fully melt so we would get mouthfuls of caramel. Some reviewers mentioned caramel bits which I couldn't find at the stores near me. The apple crisp was tasty, even between bites of caramel.

Took it to our end of the year camping weekend with great friends and it was a big hit

This was the best crisp I have ever eaten!

We love apple crisp. This recipe is fabulous especially with the caramel!

Wonderful recipe. The only problem I had was that the caramels did not fully melt. I will try the Kraft caramel bits next time.

This recipe is replacing the old family recipe that I have used for 30 years! The caramel is the secret ingredient that makes it so wonderful. I used a bag of Kraft Caramel Bits. It beats unwrapping and cutting up all of those squares!

Wonderful!

Crisps are definitely not my favorite kind of dessert. I prefer something richer and fancier, but I LOVED this crisp. It was so good! It will definitely become a Fall tradition.

This has become a fall favorite with my family and many friends have requested the recipe. The only thing I change is I 1/4 the caramel's for a more even distribution in the crisp.

This is a perfect fall recipe when apples are abundant. Definitely try a couple of different baking apples. I wouldn't say it took 20 minutes to prep though...unwrapping and cutting caramels, add some extra time.

Great for potlucks...everyone wanted the recipe!

Our favorite apple crisp...sweet, crunchy and DELICIOUS!!

DELICIOUS!! Awesome recipe.
