Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 4 Granny Smith Apples peeled cored, and thinly sliced
  • 4 Honeycrisp Apples peeled cored, and thinly sliced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 navel orange
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/3 Tablespoon Apple Pie Spice
  • 3 tablespoons of bourbon this can be optional

Apple Crisp Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cup of Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 1/2 cups of All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of Apple Pie Spice
  • 1 teaspoon of Ground Cloves
  • 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Kosher salt
  • 1 Stick of unsalted butter frozen and grated (we used KerryGold's Butter)
  • 1/2 Stick 4 tablespoons butter, melted

**The Secret Whiskey Recipe**:

  • 5 oz Honey Whiskey
  • 2 1/2 oz Spiced Apple Cider
  • 3 tablespoons Apple Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, orange juice, lemon zest, orange zest, sugar, apple pie spice, and bourbon. Spoon the mixture into 6–8 individual oven-safe bowls (or one large baking dish).
  • Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, apple pie spice, ground cloves, vanilla, salt, and the grated frozen butter. Mix on medium until crumbly.
  • In a large skillet, melt the remaining ½ stick of butter over medium-high heat. Add the crumble mixture, ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly until golden and clumped.
  • Remove the apples from the oven. Spoon the crisp topping generously over the apples. Return to the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Add the Secret Whiskey Sauce. While the crisp bakes, whisk together the Honey whiskey, apple cider, and applesauce mixture until smooth. At the 25-minute mark, remove the apple crisp, drizzle 1 ounce of sauce over each bowl, then return to the oven.
  • Bake another 20–25 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven. Spread 2 tablespoons of marshmallow crème on each serving and broil on the top rack for 1–2 minutes, until toasted. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce.
  • Serve. Let cool slightly before digging in.
