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

Used old fashioned oats in place of the quick oats as they give baked goods a chewier texture. Increased the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon. Served to guests along with vanilla ice cream & everyone thought it was delicious!
