Juicy apples in rum sauce covered with equally as much buttery streusel, and all drizzled with a homemade rum caramel sauce that isn’t light on the rum!
In a large bowl, toss together sliced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and flour. Add rum and stir to combine. Pour the apple mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Streusel topping
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add melted butter and stir to combine until crumbly. Evenly spread streusel topping over the apple filling.
Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until bubbly and the apples are tender.
Rum caramel
While the apple crisp is baking, make the rum caramel. Heat the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly just until the sugar melts into a thick brown liquid, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the butter once the sugar is completely melted; bubbling will occur. Whisk until melted and mostly combined, about 1 minute.
Slowly add the heavy whipping cream while whisking; more bubbling will occur. Let the caramel boil for about 30-60 seconds until it rises in the pan. Remove from heat and quickly whisk in the rum and salt.
Once the apple crisp has finished baking, drizzle half of the rum caramel over the apple crisp in the pan. Reserve the remaining rum caramel for drizzling over individual servings.
Notes
If you're looking for an easier or quicker option, heat up 1 ¼ cups of store-bought caramel topping and mix in ¼ cup of rum.
