Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)

For the Oat Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

For Serving:

Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Additional caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of caramel sauce. Toss well to coat the apples evenly and set them aside.

    Assemble the Filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread the apple mixture evenly across the bottom.

      Make the Oat Topping: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cubed cold butter into the dry mixture. With your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        Incorporate Nuts: If you're using nuts, stir them into the oat topping mixture for added crunch and flavor.

          Top the Apples: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish. Make sure to cover all the apples for an even crisp.

            Bake the Crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are bubbling and the oat topping is golden brown.

              Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top before serving. For an indulgent treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
