We all have fond memories of eating caramel apples at fairs and pumpkin patches. But in reality gnawing on a caramel apple can be a filling-loosening ordeal. In comes Suvie caramel apple crisp as a modern, non-tooth cracking, scrumptious solution. What makes this caramel apple crisp different from other apple crisps you ask? Our humble butterscotch pudding mix of course. The pudding mix gives the crisp a caramelly sweetness and cuts through the tang of the green apples. The topping gives the crisp a hearty crunch and contrasts delightfully with the soft apples. Dollop on a scoop of caramel ice cream and hark back to your childhood getting ready for that hayride.
Caramel Apple Crisp
Ingredients
- 5 medium green apples (about 24 oz), peeled and sliced ¼” thick
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup old-fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup cook-and-serve butterscotch pudding mix
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, chilled, cut into ¼” cubes
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 cups vanilla or caramel ice cream (optional)
Directions
1) Lie sliced apples flat in a Suvie pan. In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour, oats, butterscotch pudding mix, and cinnamon. Toss the cubed butter into the dry ingredients and use your fingers to work the butter into the flour. The topping should resemble wet sand with some chunks of butter remaining. Add the walnuts and stir to combine.
2) Sprinkle the topping over the sliced apples.
3) Insert pan into your Suvie, input settings, and cook now or schedule.

4) After the cook, broil the crisp for 5 minutes or until topping is golden brown. To avoid overcooking: do not leave apple crisp unattended during this step!
5) Remove pan from Suvie. Divide between bowls and top with ice cream. Enjoy!
