Ingredients
- 6 large apples (approximately 7 cups), peeled, cored and sliced thinly. (I use Granny Smith because I like a tart apple in my crisps.)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 20 caramels, unwrapped
- Flaky sea salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10 inch cast iron skillet or a 3 quart baking dish.
- Place apples in single layer in dish, dotting with lemon juice. Repeat until all apples are in the dish. Press down to pack. Place flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in food processor. Add butter and process until crumbly and coarse.
- Spread the mixture evenly on top of the apples, pressing down firmly to essentially make a seal with the topping. Bake approximately 1 hour, until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.
- During the last 10 minutes of cooking, melt the caramels. Place caramels in pot on stove top, add 2 T water and stir constantly over low heat. When melted, add the sea salt.
- Remove crisp from oven and drizzle with sea salt caramel. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
