Ingredients

Buttermilk Caramel Sauce:

  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ½ cup butter 1 stick
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Apple Crisp:

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup oats
  • ½ cup butter 1 stick, refrigerated
  • 3 Honeycrisp apples sliced
  • ½ whole lemon
  • ¼ cup buttermilk caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Combine the buttermilk, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda in a large pot. Stir it all together and br
  • ng to a boil. Once it is bubbling, turn down heat to medium low so it is lightly simmering. Stir constantly for 7-8 minutes until the liquid becomes a thick, rich, golden color. Stir in vanilla. Set aside to cool, and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugars, spices, oats and salt using a fork. Remove the butter from the refrigerator and cut it into ½ inch pieces. Gradually add them in, using a fork until it is mixed well and the texture is small and crumbly.
  • Slice Honeycrisp apples to about ¼ inch thickness and place in a medium bowl. Add the zest from the lemon half. Squeeze in its juice and stir it in with the zest. Add ¼ cup buttermilk caramel sauce, and mix well.
  • Pour the Honeycrisp apple mixture into an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish, and cover evenly with the crumb topping. Cover it with foil and bake on 350°F for 15 minutes. Uncover it and bake for another 20 minutes until the top is brown and crisp. Feel free to broil it for a couple of minutes at the end to give it an exceptionally crisp texture, if so desired. Serve while warm with a hefty drizzle of the buttermilk caramel sauce. Enjoy!
