Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Place the apple slices in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the apple slices. Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Evenly distribute the flour and oat mixture over the apples in the baking dish.
Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the oat mixture to ensure a rich caramel flavor in every bite.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Allow the Caramel Apple Bake to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
