Instructions

Caramel Apple Filling

Preheat oven to 350F. Arrange apples in the bottom of a greased 9-inch oven-safe cast iron skillet.
Place sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat and allow to melt. Once melted, whisk in butter and bring to a boil. Slowly add cream (carefully, it will splatter) whisking constantly and allow caramel to cook until golden brown and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove caramel from heat and mix in salt.
Reserve 2 tablespoons caramel for later. Drizzle remaining caramel over apples and set aside for a moment.

Streusel Topping

In a medium bowl, combine all streusel ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples.
Bake apple crisp at 350F 30-35 minutes until apples are bubbly and topping is golden brown.
Allow crisp to cool slightly then drizzle with remaining caramel sauce and serve warm with ice cream and whipped cream. Enjoy!
