Oh my goodness, this is soooooooo good! I used the vanilla pudding suggested by one of the reviews. I took it to a picnic and everyone raved over it! I used about 3/4 jar of the caramel topping over the apples and only used 1/2 the crumble mixture. It is really rich, I will cut the sugar in the apples next time. Use the vanilla pudding instead of flour, it's great!

Best ever!!!

As the name implies it IS the best ever. I have a few suggestions for everyone. use a ziploc bag. make the filling, peel and cut the apples then add the apples to the ziploc bag pour in the filling and let marinate while you finish with the rest of the recipe. apples and sauce can even be made the night before and refrigerated. dont forget to double the lemon juice and cinnamon for the sauce. Instead of using flour use vanilla pudding, one box is a half cup. homemade caramel is the best and easiest way to go, medium high heat in a large saucepan stick of butter, cup of sugar and 1.25 cups of heavy cream added slowly and after the sugar turns a nice golden brown. you will have some left over that can be put in a jar and used on ice cream or French toast, mmmm. half the crumble recipe and add a dash of cinnamon. instead of water for the sauce use another liquid i.e. brandy, heavy cream, cider. the last 10 - 15 minutes of bake time sprinkle 1/4 - 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans to the top, its adds a great crunch.

I loved this recipe, but you can make it absolutely perfect in a springform pan, don't ask me how. It just helped it a bit. I plan on making this again and again. Please submit more of your wonderful recipes.

I made this with a conversion to 8 servings. It fit perfectly into an 8x8 pan. I put a little extra lemon juice to counteract the sweetness of the caramel. Also with the apples I put 1-2 tablespoons of extra flour so it wouldn't turn out to be soupy. I also put half of the caramel on the apples and then put most of the crumble on. Then I put the remainder of the caramel on top of that. Then put the remainder of the crumble on top about 1/2 cup. It came out perfectly!!!!!! My boyfriend loved it!!!!!

This is a very delicious recipe. My family loved it! I didn't have to make any alterations at all. It was perfect just the way it was. My only suggestion is to try it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Simply scrumptious!!

Overall very tasty recipe, but very watery. Definitely need a bigger pan than 8x8...will make it again, but will cut way down on the water, and mabye cut the crumb topping down by a third as well.

Recipe excellent. However, please note the pan size in this recipe. No way this is a 8 x 8 size pan. This is for 9 x 13 pan. Thanks!

Very good balance of tartness, sweetness, and crunch! I bake in individual ramekins and serve.

I followed another reviewer advice, and added extra, lemon juice, and apple pie spices, alittle more white sugar, I omitted the water, and replaced with vanilla extract, and brandy adding to 1/4 cup. added the carmel topping, Mrs. Richardson butterscotch carmel topping, then last oatmeal topping. baked at 350' for about 45 min. the bomb!!! Family loved it!

I made this for Thanksgiving this year instead of the traditional pumpkin pie. It was a hit, even though I forgot to add the caramel topping!! I wanted to shortcut it so I bought sundae caramel topping, which was forgotten in the refrigerator but the next time I make it I will follow the directions and make the caramel topping. Also paired it with ice cream- plain vanilla will do! YUMMO.

the BEST crisp! I've had nothing but rave reviews the last two times I've made this (both times for early Thanksgiving dinners with church and friends) and we are making it for today's family Thanksgiving feast.

Great recipe! Added 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Cut back on crmel and sugar. A keeper!

This was a little too sweet for me but got rave reviews from everyone else. It would be great with vanilla ice cream to cut down the sweetness of the caramel a little bit.

It came out really wonderful! I didn't use the caramel topping at all because of a picky eater in my family but it was still a great basic apple crisp.
