Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square or round baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to the apples, tossing well to coat evenly. Spread the apples evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butterscotch chips and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the butterscotch sauce evenly over the apples in the dish.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples and butterscotch mixture.
Bake the dessert in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple mixture is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
