Salted Caramel Apple Crumble – Baked Cinnamon Apples with Buttery Crumble

Salted Caramel Apple Crumble is a comforting baked dessert made with tender cinnamon apples and a golden buttery crumble topping.

As the apples bake, they soften and release sweet juices that bubble around the edges. The crumble topping turns crisp and golden, creating a rich contrast with the soft fruit underneath.

A drizzle of salted caramel adds a glossy finish and deep caramel flavor that balances the warm spices.
