I combined ingredients from various apple crisp recipes to create this one. I like to use tart apples because they provide a balance to the sweetness of the caramels. —Melissa Williams, Peoria, Illinois

I was short on time so I substituted a jar of carmel sauce for the melted carmels, and it worked wonders.
