- 6 cups of peeled and sliced apples
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Caramel Apple Crisp is a beloved dessert that originated in the United States. This delectable treat features tender, cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a crispy oat and brown sugar crumble, and drizzled with rich, gooey caramel. The dish gained popularity in the 20th century and has since become a staple in American dessert culture. Renowned chefs and home cooks alike have put their own spin on this classic dessert, with variations in the type of apples used, the ratio of caramel to apple, and the crisp topping. Some famous versions of this dish can be found in the Midwest, particularly in states like Michigan and Wisconsin, where apple orchards abound and fresh, locally-grown apples are readily available. For the best Caramel Apple Crisp, it's crucial to use high-quality, tart apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, as they hold their shape well and provide a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Additionally, the caramel sauce should be made from scratch, using real butter, cream, and a touch of sea salt for that irresistible sweet-salty flavor. While the traditional method involves baking the crisp in the oven, some chefs have experimented with alternative techniques such as grilling or slow cooking to add a unique smoky flavor to the dish. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Caramel Apple Crisp is a timeless dessert that continues to delight food enthusiasts across the country.
