Caramel Apple Crisp

CARAMEL APPLE CRISP

Preheat over to 375 degrees.

Ingredients for the crust:

• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed firmly
• 1 3/4 cups unsifted flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cold butter

In a large bowl, combine everything but the butter. When ingredients well mixed, cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Keep 1 1/2 cups of the mixture for later. Press the rest in the bottom of a 9” x 13” greased pan. Bake 15 minutes.

Ingredients for the apple filling, prepare while the crust is baking.

• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 20 caramels, unwrapped
• 1 can (14 ounce) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (21 ounce) can apple pie filling

Add the walnuts to the rest of the crumbly mixture. In a heavy sauce pan melt caramels with the Eagle Brand milk, using low heat, and stirring until melted and smooth. As soon as the crust comes out, spoon in the apple filling, top with the melted caramel mixture and sprinkle on the remaining crumbly mixture. Bake another 20 minutes. Wonderful served warm with ice cream!!
