Caramel Apple (of Our Eye) Crisp
We have an undeniable craving for fresh-from-the-oven and fruit-filled desserts in the fall! This easy caramel apple crisp recipe is one of them! Made in a cast iron skillet, it’s caramel-y (of course) and crispy, and baked just long enough for the apples to keep some of their bite. For more easy and seasonal desserts, check out our Pumpkin pie, Easy Tiramisu or No-Bake Cookies. If you're looking for more crisp recipes, check out our Mixed Berry Crisp, or our easy Rhubarb Crisp.
Caramel Apple Crisp Ingredients.

Apples
Flour
Butter
Cinnamon
Brown sugar
How to Make Apple Crisp
Our easy apple crisp recipe is so simple. Here’s how to make our skillet caramel apple crisp:
Stir peeled, cubed apples with a mix of brown sugar and cinnamon.
Layer apples in a buttered cast iron pan—starting with pats of butter on the bottom makes the brown sugar turn into a rich caramel sauce as it bakes. Yes, it feels like magic and it will taste that way, too.
Measure and mix the crisp topping, then crumble it over the top of the apples, and bake the whole beautiful thing.
Tools You’ll Need to Make Our Homemade Apple Crisp:
- Cast iron skillet. A good cast iron skillet is perhaps the most utilitarian tool in the kitchen—we love how it helps caramelize the sugar in our caramel apple crisp.
- Two mixing bowls. Or a kid in need of chore money who’s willing to wash one bowl between uses.
- Ice cream scoop. Because—and really it should go without saying—a scoop of vanilla ice cream should always accompany a hot-from-the-oven crisp.
