Easy Apple Crisp with Caramel Sauce
Easy Apple Crisp with Caramel Sauce
Fall is in the air, the smell of crisp apples, the crunch of fallen leaves. It must be apple crisp time! Easy Apple Crisp with Caramel Sauce is not only easy, its delicious. This easy recipe features my all thyme favorite, hands down the best, better than homemade caramel sauce. You can make your own caramel sauce but I love Ecker’s Apple Farm Caramel sauce and that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!!
Ecker’s Gourmet Caramel
Ecker’s Gourmet Caramel recipe was developed in 1955 by Peter Ecker, when large scale, copper kettle production became necessary. All caramel is made on site with the finest ingredients. The caramel is truly a delicacy. Ecker’s gourmet caramel is made almost daily in season. The finest copper kettle equipment is used to make each batch on site. Caramel can be purchased year round in 18 ounce size containers or an economy 9 lb. pail.
Very Versatile
This recipe is very versatile. Make it your own by adding more or less apples, using more or less sugar, or even using only cinnamon instead of the apple pie spice. I like to use two or even three different types of apples when making “anything” that involves apples. The flavor is so much better when you combine different apple types. Start with two types of baking apples, then three, until you find a combination that works for you.
