Caramel Apple Crisp

• 3 cups old-fashioned oats
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup cold butter
• 8 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
• 1 package (14 ounces) caramels, halved (I would cut in thirds to get better distribution)
  
• 1 cup apple cider, divided

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Press half of the mixture into a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Layer with half of the apples, caramels and 1 cup oat mixture. Repeat layers. Pour 1/2 cup cider over top.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes. Drizzle with remaining cider; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until apples are tender.
