Ingredients for Awesome Caramel Apple Crisp

  • Granny Smith Apples
  • Butterscotch Pudding
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

How to Make Awesome Caramel Apple Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups).
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with 1 (3.4 ounce) box apple pie filling mix or pudding mix. Gently toss to coat.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  5. In a medium bowl, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir in 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour until a thick caramel-like consistency is reached.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Pour the caramel topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking pan.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla or dulce de leche ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
