Chocolate Apple Crisp: New & Retro Recipes

Since this is Apple Month, I thought this recipe for Chocolate Apple Crisp would be perfect! What could be better than dark chocolate, great apples, caramel, and nuts! This recipe is from Betty Crocker! I always say, go to the Brands for great recipes. You can always substitute your own topping or the topping in the Retro Ad to the right for that of the Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie Mix.. Both recipes are from Betty Crocker. Be sure and add the caramel and chocolate chips!
