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
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 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
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled, cut into ¼” cubes
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 cups vanilla or caramel ice cream (optional)
Directions
1) In a large bowl, toss together apples, granulated sugar, and corn starch. In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour, oats, butterscotch pudding mix, cinnamon, and salt. 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, if using, and stir to combine.
2) Transfer apples to a Suvie pan, pressing into an even layer. Sprinkle the topping over the sliced apples.
3) Insert pan into your Suvie, input settings, and cook now or schedule, rotating the pan halfway through cooking for best results.
