Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch wedges.
Toss apple slices in a large bowl with lemon juice and two tablespoons of the brown sugar.
Grease the slow cooker and transfer the apple mixture into the bottom.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, the remaining brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple base in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Notes
For a crispier topping, leave the slow cooker lid cracked slightly during the last 30 minutes of cooking to release excess moisture. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
