Products to Use:

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Butter the bottom and all sides of a Thomas Keller Insignia stainless steel skillet.
- In a large bowl combine the apples, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, white sugar and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
- Once combined, lay the apples out in the skillet, pressing to make an even layer, all the way to the edges of the skillet.
- 4. Prepare the topping; mix AP flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, kosher salt and diced cold butter. Mix slowly on low, increasing a speed higher as it starts to combine, until you end up with a crumbly consistency. Spread the topping out over the apples, all the way to the edges of the pan.
- Bake on center rack at 375F for one hour.
- While the Apple Crisp is baking, prepare the Salted Caramel Drizzle. In a saucepan, add sugar and water over medium heat.
- In a small separate saucepan, warm the heavy cream over low heat.
- The sugar will melt down and after about 10 minutes, it will start to crystalize and get a golden color. Stir with a wooden or silicone spoon until it reaches an amber brown. Turn off the heat.
- Slowly add the warm cream, stirring to combine completely. Add in the butter and kosher salt, continuously stirring until combined.
- Serve the Apple Crisp warm with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of the Salted Caramel sauce!
