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.
