Warm apple crisp made with old fashioned oats, fresh fall apples, spiced perfectly and drizzled with caramel sauce. Â This double layer apple crisp is to die for and tastes even better on the second day when all the juices are released slightly into the oat topping.
With kids heading back to school and fall right around the corner, I thought I would get an early start on celebrating the fall harvest. Â I love a good apple crisp with warm cinnamon apples and a delicious buttery oat topping.
 I love a good apple crisp recipe that has a good amount of crumbly topping.  The first time I baked a double layer apple crisp with a bottom layer of the oat crisp and a top layer of the oat topping, I fell in love.  The only thing that can make an apple crisp better is two layers of the topping.  If you have never tried it, it’s a must!  This  Caramel Apple Crisp recipe can be made with just 1 layer of topping, however.
Fresh apples find their home between generous layers of a delicious and perfectly spiced crumbly, crisp mixture. Â Caramel Apple Crisp is the perfect dessert for serious apple lovers.
Adding caramel sauce to apple crisp just makes sense. Â Caramel and apples pair together perfectly. Â Add a little salt and you have salted caramel apple crisp. Â Caramel Apple Crisp is amazingly delicious.
This Caramel Apple Crisp is not soggy like most recipes I have come across. Â Actually, it has the perfect amount of moisture. Â Adding caramel sauce will give it some more moisture to the top layer. Â I like this recipe best served on the second day.
This easy Caramel Apple Crisp recipe with tender apples has two generous layers of crispy, crumbly topping made with flour, oats, sugar and butter.
This classic apple crisp recipe gets a makeover with an extra layer of oat topping and lots of caramel sauce. Â Serve the apple crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

The recipe calls for nutmeg twice in the apple section. I’m guessing one is nutmeg and the other is supposed to be cinnamon. Just a small typo. This recipe looks delicious. I love the idea of a double crisp. The crisp is usually my favorite part.
Hi Sarah,I updated the recipe. Thanks for catching that and stopping by!
I saw this on The Weekend Re-Treat and had to stop by — this is like all 3 of my favorite fall things in one! Apples, caramel and crisp. Looks to die for!

Thanks, Rachel!
Found this on Mouthwatering Mondays. Looks very good. Have an apple tree with giant apples and it is calling me to cook.
Looks good, I’m looking forward to trying it.
Your ingredient list doesn’t not, however include the caramel sauce. So if I were to glance at the recipe and do my shopping, I would be missing that vital ingredient…
Thanks, I’ve added the caramel sauce to the ingredients.
Jessica,

OMG .. this looks awesome.. I am not so fond of desserts but apple and cinnamon combo is good for me. I like it.
This apple crisp looks wicked good! Adding caramel sauce to the crisp is genius!!
This has my name all over it! It looks and sounds delicious.
Hi!
This looks delish and I can’t wait to make it for my friendsgiving 🙂
Do you recommend a certain type of Apple to use or does it not matter?
Thank you so much!
you can use whatever you want. I think I used green or red/green mix
My husband LOVES apple crisp and it’s even better with caramel sauce! I make a whiskey caramel that would be wonderful drizzled on top of this.
I think that apples and caramel pair so well! In fact, it’s one of my favourite combinations ever so I will pin this to try later!
OK, I’m not one for cooked fruit, but that crumble topping may very well change the game!
Ummmmm, those pictures make me want to jump right into my screen!!! LOVE!
