Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

4 large Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and diced)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Salted Caramel Sauce:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Filling:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced Granny Smith apples with the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Toss gently until the apples are thoroughly coated with the mixture. Allow the filling to sit for 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavors.

      Make the Salted Caramel Sauce:

        - In a medium saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat. Continuously stir as it melts, turning a deep amber color, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

          - Once the sugar is melted, carefully add the diced butter, whisking until fully blended.

            - Remove the pan from heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously as the mixture may bubble rapidly.

              - Add the sea salt, stir to combine, and set the sauce aside to cool slightly.

                Prepare the Crumble Topping:

                  - In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

                    - Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture forms coarse crumbs and there are no large chunks of butter remaining.

                      Assemble the Crumble:

                        - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

                          - Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Spread the prepared apple filling evenly across the bottom of the dish and drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the apples.

                            - Evenly distribute the crumble topping over the apple mixture, making sure to cover it completely.

                              - Drizzle the remaining salted caramel sauce over the top of the crumble layer.

                                Bake:

                                  - Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.

                                    - Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Serve the Salted Caramel Apple Crumble warm. For an added indulgence, top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle additional salted caramel sauce over the top before savoring.
