Mock Apple Crisp

• servings: 8

This quick and easy recipe makes a wonderful apple crisp from homemade caramel sauce, tender cooked apples, and crushed cookies. For your favorite yummy flavor, crumble your preferred cookie of choice and top with a dollop of whipped cream. Save leftover caramel sauce to top scoops of vanilla ice cream, drizzle over pound cake, or serve as a dipping sauce for fresh apple slices.

ingredients

• 1 recipe Caramel Sauce
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 cups sliced, peeled cooking apples
• 1-1/2 cups coarsely crushed cookies, such as biscotti, pecan shortbread, oatmeal, snickerdoodle, or chocolate chip (about 3 ounces)
• Sweetened whipped cream (optional)

directions

1. Prepare Caramel Sauce. In a 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Stir in apple slices. Cook, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until apple slices are tender and slightly brown, stirring occasionally.
2. Place cooked apple slices in serving bowls. Top evenly with crushed cookies. Drizzle Caramel Sauce over top. If desired, serve with sweetened whipped cream. Makes 8 servings.
3. Caramel Sauce: In a heavy 2-quart saucepan combine 1/2 cup whipping cream, 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons light-colored corn syrup. Bring to boiling over medium-high heat (about 5 to 6 minutes), whisking occasionally. Reduce heat to medium. Boil gently for 3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Let sauce cool 15 minutes before serving with apple crisp. Cover and chill any leftovers for up to 2 weeks. (If chilled, let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving).
