Caramel Apple Crunch

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

12-16 ServingsPrep: 25 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling

Ingredients

8 cups sliced peeled tart apples
33 caramels, divided
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons 2% milk, divided
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash ground cinnamon
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

Place the apples in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. In a heavy
saucepan, melt 25 caramels with 2 tablespoons milk, stirring often;
drizzle over apples.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, walnuts, salt
and cinnamon; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle over apples.
Bake at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10
minutes. Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, melt remaining caramels
with remaining milk, stirring often until smooth. Drizzle over
dessert and ice cream if desired. Yield: 12-16 servings.
