For the Apple Filling
- 6 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
For the Topping
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples evenly. Toss them in a bowl with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until they are well coated with the spices.
- Arrange in Crockpot: Spread the apple mixture evenly at the bottom of your crockpot or slow cooker, making sure the pieces are well distributed.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, and flour. Pour in the melted butter and mix thoroughly until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
- Top the Apples: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the crockpot, ensuring full coverage for a nice crisp layer.
- Cook the Crisp: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours or on high heat for 1.5-2 hours, until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and crisp.
- Serve Warm: Once done, serve the apple crisp warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Notes
- You can use any variety of apples, but tart apples like Granny Smith add a nice balance.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans on the topping before cooking.
- Make sure not to lift the lid too often during cooking to maintain temperature and cooking time.
- This crisp can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
