When my children and I make this scrumptious layered dessert at home, we use a variety of apples to give it a nice combination of flavors. —Michelle Brooks, Clarkston, Michigan

I made this with the caramel bits, more cider, and more cinnamon. Had to bake it 20 minutes longer because of high altitude.Disappointing results -- none of us could taste much of the caramel. I think I'll stick with my apple-cranberry crisp.

Kind of hard work but it's definately worth it. This is one the best desserts I've ever had!

Reading other reviews about the caramel not melting, I used the caramel dip you can find in the produce section of the grocery store. I don't know if it was this or just what, but I felt like I was eating oatmeal with some apple thrown in. I didn't care for this.

This was very good. I also added more cider and I baked it about 15 minutes longer so the apples were soft. I used the caramel bits but next time I think I will try caramel ice cream topping and see how it works. This is a keeper.

I made this out of my "best loved recipes" cook book. It seemed like it would be amazing but....The caramel's did not melt enough or distribute like they should and I think there was too much crumb mixture with kind of a gritty texture. I think I will stick to my caramel apple pie recipe. If I did make this again I would use liquified caramel and spread it evenly and I would use 3/4 of the crisp mix it called for and add more cinnamon and some other spices because it did not have enough flavor in my opinion. Overall it's an average crisp I suppose but I have definetly made and tasted way better.

This is so good! I made it almost exactly to the recipe. The only thing I changed was the caramel (only because it seemed there was some negative feedback about it not melting good). So what I did was unwrap all the caramels and put them in a microwave safe bowl, added 1 (5oz) can evaporated milk, and microwaved until melted and smooth. This made it easy to pour over each layer. Everything measured out perfectly and it was a huge hit! I will for sure be making this again.

I've made this several times now. It is our son's favorite Apple Crisp. I also use the caramel bits found in the baking aisle. It is yummy!
