Caramel Apple Crisp

3 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup cold butter
8 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (I used Granny Smith)
1 package (14 oz) caramels, halved (I used caramel apple dip by the spoonfuls...it's all I had)
1 cup apple cider, divided

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-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Layer with half of the apples and caramels (again, I just spooned out dollops of the caramel dip over the apples) and 1 cup oat mixture (or about half of the half that's left -- make sense?); repeat layers. Pour 1/2 cup cider over top.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30 min. Drizzle with remaining cider; bake 15-20 min longer or until apples are tender. Yield: 12-14 servings.
