Ingredients
Original version
- 1 x 125 gram package of crackers I used Ogran Organic
- Homemade caramel sauce see below
- Homemade apple pie filling see below
- sea salt
Homemade caramel sauce
- 1 cup coconut sugar or dark brown sugar
- 1/4 water
- 2 T coconut oil or butter
- sea salt
Apple pie filling
- 1 large/2 small apples chopped finely
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 T granulated sweetener of choice I used coconut palm sugar
- 2 T boiled water
Cheat's version
- 1 x package of your favorite plain crackers- e.g. Saltines Premium (125 grams)
- 1/2- 1 cup your favorite caramel sauce
- 1/2- 1 cup apple pie filling
Instructions
Original version
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare your salted caramel sauce as follows- heat a saucepan with the water and sugar until it begins to boil. Ensure you stir the mixture constantly. Add the sea salt and coconut oil (or butter) and continue stirring on medium heat until it thickens and remove from the heat. Set aside.
- Prepare your apple pie filling by combining all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl or stovetop and warming up until apples are soft and caramelised. Set aside to firm up slightly.
- Layer a large baking tray or cookie sheet with 1 layer of tin foil and 1 layer of baking paper. Cover evenly with the plain crackers and cover with a thin layer of caramel, but enough to cover all the crackers. Top with apple pie filling, extra caramel and serve immediately.
Cheat version
- Follow as above.
Notes
These are best served immediately as the crackers can get soggy if left too long- Also, the thicker you cover with caramel, the quicker it will get soggy.
This can be prepped in advance and is freezer friendly- Simply pre-prepare your caramel and apple pie filling and freeze and cover and thaw completely before serving.
This CAN be baked all together but you'd need to cook the caramel and crackers seperately before adding the apple pie filling.
