I dream about this Pumpkin Apple Crisp with Salted Caramel Sauce.  It’s no secret, I love Salted Caramel Anything.  This amazing dish tastes like fall in a spoon!

We had friends over last fall for a family dinner.  The guys grilled, the girl made sides and mixed margaritas, kids hung out and we all caught up.  I made this Pumpkin Apple Crisp with Salted Caramel Sauce and it was a huge it.

I used Honey Crisp apples for this but you can also use Pink Lady or mix in some Granny Smith for a tart kick.  It takes about 15 minute to assemble and 30 minutes to bake.  As always, I made this with gluten-free oatmeal but traditional oats work just the same.  Don’t skip the Calvados!  This apple-flavored liquor adds a great flavor and the alcohol cooks out.

It is super easy and you can make it ahead and heat right before serving.  This makes it perfect for a holiday or when you need to do all your prep before guests arrive.  I made this in little ramekins but you can make it in a baking dish as well.  The fleur de sel caramel sauce is from Trader Joe’s and I have to keep myself from eating it daily with a spoon!  It’s that good.

There are two secret ingredients in my apple crisp: white chocolate chips and pumpkin pie mix.  Mary, my fabulous photographer said, “Oh, my gosh!  This tastes like fall!”  I couldn’t agree more.

This will be on the menu for Thanksgiving.  I hope you’ll add it to yours!
