Ingredients
- 6 cups apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Apples: In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble: In another bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, melted butter, and pecans until crumbly.
- Assemble & Bake: Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the apples, then sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and apples are tender.

Notes
For extra crunch, add more chopped pecans to the crumble. To make it dairy-free, swap butter for coconut oil and serve with dairy-free ice cream. Try different apple varieties for a sweeter or more tart flavor.
