In a small bowl combine all the topping ingredients.
In a second bowl combine all the apple filling ingredients.
Add apple mixture to half of the griddle and the crisp topping to the other half.
Cook until the apples have softened and the crisp is golden brown. Removing each from the griddle once done. The crisp will cook quicker than the apples.
Assemble the crisp by adding apples to a bowl, the crisp topping, a drizzle of caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
