This Crock Pot Apple Crisp is a warm, comforting dessert featuring tender Fuji apples cooked with fragrant cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with a buttery oat crumble. Perfect for cozying up during cool weather, this easy slow cooker recipe requires minimal prep and results in a deliciously soft fruit base with a crisp, golden topping.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 6 Fuji apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg

Topping

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, diced into ½” cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced Fuji apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir thoroughly so the apples are evenly coated with the spices and sugar. Transfer this mixture into the slow cooker and spread it evenly across the bottom.
  2. Make the Topping: In another large mixing bowl, mix together the brown sugar, old fashioned oats, and all-purpose flour. Add the cubed unsalted butter to the oat mixture, then use two forks or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Assemble and Cook: Evenly spread the prepared topping over the apples in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high heat for 2 hours.
  4. Cool and Serve: After cooking, turn the slow cooker to the warming setting, remove the lid, and allow the apple crisp to cool for about 30 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting dessert.

Notes

  • Make Ahead of Time: You can assemble the apple crisp the night before and store it covered in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, it may require slightly longer cooking time since it starts cold.
  • Doubling the Recipe: If you double the ingredients, extend the cooking time accordingly. Consider cooking the apples alone for a bit first, stirring, then adding the topping to finish baking.
  • Keep the Lid On: Avoid removing the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain temperature and consistent cooking time; lifting the lid can add about 30 minutes to cooking time each time.
  • Cooling Time: Cooling time can vary by slow cooker model. Check the apple crisp every 15 minutes after cooking to reach your desired serving temperature.
