Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the apples into a saucepan with a splash of water, cover, then cook over a high heat for 4-5 mins, stirring now and then until just soft. Stir in 3 tbsp of the caramel, then tip into small ovenproof dishes. Dot small spoonfuls of caramel cream over the apples until only 1 tbsp is left.
  2. Mix the flour and oats together, then rub in the butter with your fingers until you have a crumbly mixture. Stir in the remaining caramel, then scatter over the apples. Bake for 18-20 mins until golden and crisp on top.

    Yummy yummy! My family loved this easy twist on apple crumble. I substituted cooking apples which was fine and I think probably a little less sweet which compensated for the caramel!

    Didn't really enjoy this, found it much too sweet, I will try it again with cooking apples to see if it makes it any better.

    I had bought the caramel sauce but after Fiona's remarks about being too sweet, it put me off so used 7 eating apples and one cooking apple and didn't add any sweetener at all to these, but added a squeeze of caramel to the topping. It turned out really well, so if you like to taste the fruit I would suggest not using the sauce. Served with custard.

    This dish was ok but next time I probably wont use the caramel sauce. I also sprinkled a bit of cinamon on top for extra flavour.

    My family loved this recipe- though the first time I made it, I used cooking apples as well as 1 granny smith one, which gave it a nice flavour. The second time I made it I used eating apples but substituted the caramel for a splash of maple syrup, which kept it from being too sweet, just right!

    I don't know if anyone else found this, but the crumble topping only covered a fraction of the apples! I would've needed at least double to cover them all. Luckily we had some pre-made crumble topping from a previous shop in the cupboard!

    Used cooking apples so not so sweet, but agree with Daz in that there was insufficient crumble to cover the apples (and we only used 6 apples not 8!) maybe double the crumble mixture?
