This hands-off Crock Pot Apple Crisp is the perfect cozy dessert for busy days. By using a slow cooker, fresh Granny Smith apples are transformed into a tender, syrupy delight topped with a perfectly crunchy cinnamon-oat crumble. It is an easy, stress-free way to fill your home with the warm, comforting scents of fall spices, ensuring a consistent and delicious result every time without needing to watch the oven.
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Peel and core the apples, then cut them into 1/2 inch chunks.
Spread the apples into an even layer at the bottom of the slow cooker insert.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well mixed.
Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and stir until it reaches a moist, crumbly texture.
Spread the oat mixture evenly over the apples, being careful not to pack it down.
Place a clean paper towel across the top of the slow cooker before putting the lid on to absorb excess steam.
Cook on the low setting for 3 to 4 hours until the apples are tender.
Using a paper towel under the lid is the secret to keeping the oat topping crunchy rather than soggy. If you prefer a gluten-free option, you can swap the all-purpose flour for almond flour. Serve warm plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
