n Song of Songs, we read, “
As the apple is rare 
and unique among the trees of the forest, so 
is my beloved [Israel] amongst the maidens 
[nations] of the world.”
Apples are a Rosh Hashanah food with 
symbolic meaning, known as simanim, that we 
dip in honey to usher in a sweet new year. Keep 
the sweetness going with this easy and delicious 
dessert you can serve to your holiday guests.

APPLE VANILLA CRISP 
WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Ingredients
Filling:
3 pounds Granny Smith apples, 
peeled and cut into ½-inch 
chunks.
1 Tbsp. apple brandy (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg

Topping:
¾ cup flour
½ cup raw oats, instant or other
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted

1 cup caramel sauce (home-
made or ice cream topping as a 
drizzle on top)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. 
Toss all the filling ingre-

dients together in a large 
bowl and spread in an 
8-cup or slightly larger 
attractive baking dish (this 
is the dish you will use to 
serve the crisp — I like to 
use a soufflé dish). Bake, 
uncovered, for 30 minutes. 
2. While the apples are 
baking, combine the flour, 
oats, sugar and cinnamon 
in a medium bowl and 
stir well. Drizzle in the 
butter and stir in. Sprinkle 
the topping over the hot 
apples and bake, uncov-
ered for 25 minutes or 
more. Heat the caramel 
sauce slightly and drizzle 
it over the crisp. Serve 
the crisp warm or at room 
temperature. If you’d 
like to serve the crisp in 
individual dishes, spoon 
it carefully into dessert 
bowls or large wine glass-
es and drizzle the caramel 
sauce over. Makes 8-10 
servings.
