- Cook Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
- Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 large Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice and vanilla extract. This helps prevent the apples from browning too quickly and adds a bright layer of flavor. Place the coated apples into the bottom of a greased 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, spreading them out evenly.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the cold, cubed butter into the mixture. Continue until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs and the butter is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples in the slow cooker. To prevent the topping from becoming soggy, place a double layer of paper towels across the top of the slow cooker before putting the lid on. This catches the condensation that usually drips back onto the food.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on High for 2.5 to 3 hours, or on Low for 5 to 6 hours. The apple crisp is finished when the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping has set. For a crispier top, you can vent the lid slightly during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
