Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6-7 large apples 8-10 smaller apples, I recommend granny smith, honey crisp or something more tart or a combination of apples is nice too
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup (54g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves

Topping

  • 1 ½ cups (134g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (120g) all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (54g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter 1 1/2 sticks, cold and cut into pieces

Instructions

  • Spray a crock pot lightly with non-stick cooking spray and turn onto low. Skin and core the apples. Cut the apples into slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves. Toss with your hands to coat the apples. Transfer the apples to the crock pot.
    6-7 large apples, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup (54g) brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • In the same mixing bowl (you can rinse and dry the bowl!), combine the oats, all purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and cut butter. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until only pea sized pieces of butter remain. Gently spread the oat topping over the apples.
    1 1/2 cups (134g) rolled oats, 1 cup (120g) all purpose flour, 1/4 cup (54g) brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter
  • Place a kitchen towel under the crock pot lid - the towel will help to absorb moisture and prevent the topping from becoming too moist. Cook on low for 3 hours, with the towel in place. After 3 hours, turn the crock pot off and let the crisp sit for 1 hour with the lid on (towel still in place) before serving.
  • Enjoy warm or cold! We love ours with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

The nutmeg and cloves can be substituted for 3/4 tsp apple pie spice.
