Caramel Filling
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and prepare a 9x13 pan by spraying it with non-stick spray.

- Whisk in a pinch of salt and then slowly pour in the 2/3 cup of cream slowly while you quickly whisk the mixture. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 minutes once the cream has been added. Remove from heat and set aside.

- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 3 tbsp flour. Mix to combine and set aside.
Crisp Topping
- In a food processor, add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cold butter cut into cubes, 1 tsp fine sea salt, and 1 tsp granulated. Pulse until the butter is chopped up into bits.
Assemble
- In the prepared 9x13 pan, pour in the apple mixture, and drizzle the caramel on top of all the apples. Sprinkle the crisp topping all over the top.
- Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove and allow the crisp to cool for 20 minutes before serving.
