Nothing says comfort to me like the aroma of anything with apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. This recipe dings all the bells! It is delicious, comforting and satisfies your sense of smell, your taste buds and your tummy. In fact, this is so good I think I might have to head home and make it right now!
Ingredients:
- 12.25 oz jar caramel ice cream topping
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 stick butter, cold (1/2 cup)
- 2/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons additional butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 or 9 inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir the cinnamon into the caramel sauce. Stir the apples into the caramel mixture and spoon into the prepared baking dish. (The dish will be very full but the apples will cook down.)
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and brown sugar together with a wire whisk. Cut in the cold butter with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the oats and the pecans.
Pour the mixture evenly over the apples. Dot with the two tablespoons butter.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until top is golden and the apples are tender. Remove from oven and let sit for about 30 minutes.
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. (I like to sprinkle a little cinnamon around the crisp and over the ice cream. It tastes yummy and makes your dish look extra special.)
