CARAMEL APPLE STREUSEL SQUARES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 3/4 cups crumb mixture; press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Bake 15 minutes.
• Arrange apples over partially baked crust. Mix sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup caramel topping until blended. Pour evenly over apples. Add walnuts to reserved crumb mixture; sprinkle over apple layer.
• Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool in pan on wire rack. Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream and remaining caramel topping.

MICROWAVED CARAMEL APPLES

Steps:

• Wash apples, and allow to completely dry and come to room temperature.
• Place buttered wax paper or release foil on a cookie sheet.
• Push sticks into the top of the apples.
• Have toppings in a small bowl nearby.
• Place caramels into a microwave safe or heat safe deep bowl and microwave for two minutes on high.
• Stir caramels if you are able. Be careful as the bowl will be really hot.
• Continue heating caramels on high in 1-minute intervals, always stirring, until mixture becomes very smooth and fluid.
• Quickly dip a couple of apples, swirling them to coat everywhere.
• Hold apples over the bowl and allow to drain, and slide the bottoms of the apples against the top of the bowl to scrape off excess caramel.
• If you like the toppings on the apples, press the apples lightly into the bowl of toppings.
• Place dipped apples on the cookie sheet.
• Check the condition of the caramel and if it is thickening, go ahead and heat it for another minute and stir. Don't worry if you need to reheat often, as it's ok.
• Continue dipping apples and reheating as necessary.
• If you have leftover caramel, pour it onto a heavily buttered cookie sheet and allow to cool and set, then roll it up and place in a ziplock bag to use later.
• You can chill apples to get them to set, or just let them sit in the pan to cool off.
• Place in cupcake liners before serving, and use within 1-2 days.

SO EASY AND TASTY APPLE STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Grease the bottom only of a small (4 cups or so) casserole dish. Peel and core the apples, slice and place in a bowl. Top with sugar, cinnamon and vanilla, toss to coat. Set aside while preparing topping.
• Make the streusel by cutting the cold butter into a bowl, adding flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, if using. Rub it through your fingers until the streusel is a coarse, sandy/pebbly texture.
• Put the seasoned apples into the pan, top generously with the streusel, and bake at 350° about 30 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and the apple is starting to bubble up through the topping.
• Serve and enjoy!
