There is nothing I adore more than the meld of sweet and savory. If I see salted caramel, there’s a strong likelihood that I’ll be trying it. When Crown Maple presented a few bloggers with a Tap to Table Recipe Challenge to meld sweet and savory with Crown Maple being at the forefront, I knew I had to take it on.
I originally thought I’d go with a crostata but we all know my irrational culinary fear of all things pie crust. I also love melding cheddar cheese with apples – there’s something about the sharpness of the cheddar melted onto the spiced sweet apples that is heaven. Having grown up in New England, it tends to be a bit more common than people think. Also one thing that can be found everywhere in New England – pure maple syrup. Whenever friends and family come down from there to visit, I always ask for them to bring me a bottle of maple syrup or some maple candy. However, I need to confess – I don’t bake often with maple syrup and, after this recipe, I need to rectify it. There’s a pure sweetness that the maple brings to this apple crisp and the maple sugar and maple syrup melted into a rich gooey salted caramel is the perfect drizzle over a divine dessert.
Next time you are wanting a bit of savory and sweet and want your guests to beg for the recipe, make this Maple Apple Cheddar Crisp with Salted Maple Caramel Sauce – they will love you forever!
Happy Holidays everyone!
