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

We love apple crisp. This recipe is fabulous especially with the caramel!

Wonderful recipe. The only problem I had was that the caramels did not fully melt. I will try the Kraft caramel bits next time.

This recipe is replacing the old family recipe that I have used for 30 years! The caramel is the secret ingredient that makes it so wonderful. I used a bag of Kraft Caramel Bits. It beats unwrapping and cutting up all of those squares!

I love apple crisps and this one sounds delicious. Kraft makes caramel bits, which I found at Pick n Save, 11oz bag of unwrapped peanut size caramels, much easier then cutting the regular squares. I use 1.5 bags.

Crisps are definitely not my favorite kind of dessert. I prefer something richer and fancier, but I LOVED this crisp. It was so good! It will definitely become a Fall tradition.

This has become a fall favorite with my family and many friends have requested the recipe. The only thing I change is I 1/4 the caramel's for a more even distribution in the crisp.

This is a perfect fall recipe when apples are abundant. Definitely try a couple of different baking apples. I wouldn't say it took 20 minutes to prep though...unwrapping and cutting caramels, add some extra time.
