This heavenly fall treat is one you’ll want to keep making long after the season passes. Enjoy tart Granny Smith apples mixed into a warm, gooey filling topped with crispy oats. Drizzled with warm caramel, this apple crumble is best served with a scoop of homemade coconut-cardamom “nice cream” for an exotically spiced finish.
