Caramel-Drizzled Apple Crumble

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 5 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup water
• Crumble:
• 2 cups rolled oats
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup melted butter

Step 1

Place an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a large pot and cover it completely with water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 3 hours, topping up with hot water as needed to keep the can submerged. When it’s done, carefully take the can out with tongs and let it cool for around 20 minutes.

Step 2

While the milk is cooling, toss the sliced apples in a big bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together a tablespoon of flour with cinnamon and nutmeg, then mix this spice blend into the apples. Transfer the apple mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Mix the vanilla extract into a little water and sprinkle it evenly over the apples.

Step 3

Open the cooled condensed milk—you'll now have a thick caramel sauce. Stir it until smooth, then drizzle it evenly over the apples.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture looks crumbly. Spread this crumble topping over the caramel-covered apples.

Step 5

Bake everything in a preheated oven until the apples are tender and the crumble has turned a lovely golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let it cool slightly before serving.
