I’ve mentioned this before, but fruit desserts are my all-time favorite.
Yep, it beats anything with with chocolate, including cakes, cupcakes, and ice cream.
I’m a sucker for pies, cobblers, crisps, and crumbles. In fact, I always requested peach pie for my birthdays growing up, instead of cake. The frosting just didn’t do it for me, and I much preferred a buttery, crispy topping and tender fruit.
And now that fall is here, you can bet that I’m craving all of the crisps and cobblers that I can get my hands on. Especially apple anything.
Which is why I just couldn’t pass up the chance to share one of my favorite fall desserts!

And what screams fall more than apple crisp, am I right?
And what’s even better than regular apple crisp is Caramel Apple Crisp. Throw in some caramel sauce and you’ve taken your regular dessert to a whole new level. After all, Caramel Apple Crisp is where it’s at, friends!
I’m a huge lover of fruit crisps (remember this Blueberry Peach Crisp and that Raspberry Rhubarb Crisp?), so I just had to make an apple version. And if you love apples, then I’m sure you know how amazingly delicious apple crisp can be!
After all, it’s all about that crispy, crumbly, buttery topping…right? I could practically live off crisp topping, it’s just so good!
The Caramel Apple Crisp topping is definitely the best of the best. Filled with oats, Rice Krispies cereal (for extra crunch), brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, the ‘crisp’ part of caramel apple crisp has never looked or tasted better. It’s golden brown, crunchy, buttery, and full of rich flavor. Mmm mmm good!
Add a big scoop (or three) of vanilla ice cream on top, and you’ve got yourself the most perfectly warm, flavorful and crispy dessert for the fall.
So if you’re looking for a deliciously sweet to use up those fresh apples, this Caramel Apple Crisp will hit the spot. Full of cozy fall flavors and so easy to make, you’ll be whipping up this dessert all year long!
