Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Arrange in Crockpot: Spread the apple mixture evenly at the bottom of your crockpot or slow cooker, making sure the pieces are well distributed.
  3. 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.
  4. Top the Apples: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the crockpot, ensuring full coverage for a nice crisp layer.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
