½ cup brown sugar
½ Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
¾ cup unsalted butter, diced

For the Apples

5 medium green apples peeled, cored and diced
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
14 oz. individually wrapped caramels unwrapped
1 5-oz. can evaporated milk

For the Streusel

¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup old-fashioned oats
¾ cup pecans chopped
½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

For the Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour (or spray with nonstick spray) a 9”x13” baking dish; set aside.
Using a large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and vanilla; stir until well combined.
Add cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or two table knives, cut butter in until cubes are size of small peas.
Press mixture evenly into bottom of prepared baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes, or until edges begin to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

For the Apples

Using a large bowl, add diced apples, sugar and cinnamon; toss until apples are well coated. Set aside.
Using a medium saucepan, add caramels and evaporated milk. Place over low heat and cook, stirring often, until mixture is smooth.
Pour caramel mixture into bowl with apples; stir until well combined. Transfer apples into baking dish on top of the crust.

For the Streusel

Using a medium mixing bowl, add all streusel ingredients; stir until well combined.
Sprinkle streusel on top of apple mixture in baking dish.
Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until streusel begins to turn golden brown.
Let cool for at least 30-40 minutes before serving.
{Optional} Serve with scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

The Crust layer may seem a little dry. That's ok! The apples and caramel filling will give off a bunch of liquid while baking, and the crust helps soak it up.
