Ingredients

  • 4 Granny Smith apples peeled then thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup gluten free baking flour blend WITH binder divided
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup certified gluten free old fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • dash of salt
  • 6 Tablespoons butter cut into pats

For the Easy Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • dash of salt
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla

Instructions

For the Easy Caramel Sauce:

  • Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir slowly until caramel has thickened, 10-12 minutes. Remove pan from heat then stir in vanilla and let cool slightly. Can be made up to 5 days ahead of time. Warm for 30 seconds in the microwave before using.

For the Apple Crisp:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees then spray a medium-sized baking dish (like 8x8" or 10x7") with nonstick spray. Add apple slices to a large bowl then toss with cinnamon and 1 Tablespoon flour until well coated. Transfer to prepared baking dish then drizzle 1/2 cup prepared Easy Caramel Sauce on top.
  • Combine oats, brown sugar, chopped pecans, remaining 1/4 cup flour, salt, and butter in the bowl then use your fingertips to combine mixture until crumbly. Top caramel apples with crisp then bake for 30-40 minutes or until apples are tender and caramel is bubbly. NOTE: If crisp topping begins to brown before apples are tender, place a piece of foil on top (no need to crimp) then continue baking.
  • Allow Caramel Apple Crisp to cool for 20 minutes — 1 hour before scooping into bowls then topping with reserved Easy Caramel Sauce.
