I love crisps and crumbles of all kinds, but apple crisp in particular is always a nostalgic favorite. This apple cinnamon roll casserole combines the tried and true flavors of apple crisp — including juicy apples spiced with cinnamon and sugar and topped with a crumble topping — with a special twist. Crumble toppings are where it’s at for me. Truthfully, after I got done photographing this, I may have used a spoon to scoop off the crumble topping in a portion of this pan. It was a little bald in places, no biggie. I cannot resist the crunchy-crispy factor that happens when you bake the butter, brown sugar, and oats. The contrast of the soft and juicy apples with the crumble is primo.
