Makes 8 servings
2 lbs cooking apples (usually a tart variety), peeled and sliced (about 6 med apples)
2/3 c old-fashioned oats
2/3 c flour
2/3 c packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, not margarine
1. Add sliced apples to slow cooker.
2. Combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg in medium mixing bowl. Cut in softened butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.
3. Cover slow cooker with paper towels (2 or 3 thick). Place lid firmly over paper towels (towels will absorb some of the condensation). Cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until apples are soft.

Review:
I loved this! I served it with cool whip but vanilla ice cream would be even better. I just halved the recipe and it was perfect for the three of us plus an extra serving. I give this recipe 4 stars.

My family loves this recipe! And I love that it’s fast and easy to make on a busy day. Normally I make extra crust (1.5 or 2x). The paper towels on top are super helpful so the crust doesn’t get soggy – I’ve started using this technique on other recipes, too!
Awesome Brittany! Glad you and your family love it.
Do you think this would be good with canned apples or does it need to be fresh apples?
Canned would be great!
Do you have instructions if I were to use an instapot instead?
I haven’t tried this one in the Instant Pot yet. You’d have to do it pot in pot. I would follow the cooking directions from my apple cobbler (https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/instant-pot-caramel-apple-cobbler/) but use the recipe ingredients from this slow cooker apple crisp.
WHY THE PAPER TOWELS THAT WOULD BE AN AWFUL LOT OF PAPER TOWELS TO JUST PUT ON TOP SEEMS USELESS.
It prevents condensation from dripping on top. You could leave out if you prefer.
Can this be made with almond flour?
I bet it could!
Why not margarine? Do you just not prefer it or it doesn’t work?
Not prefer it and I find it works better with butter 😊
Hi Karen, this looks so good and can’t wait to try them. I do have a question or two. What size crock pot do you use? And also, can this be cooked on low? And, if so, for how long? Thanks for any help you can give me.
I use a 6 quart generally. This can be cooked on low for 4 hours.
No water?
nope!
Can this recipe be doubled or tripled?
Yes!
Lots of great ideas!
So glad you highlighted this recipe. It's perfect for fall.
I make this pretty much like you do, but I use my mini slow cooker. I cut up one to two apples, place that in, then one packet of apple-cinnamon oatmeal, then a couple of pats of butter, a little water and sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top. I cook this, check on if I need more water (depends on apples), and let it cook for couple of hours. I suspect I could do the same thing with peaches etc.
I will try this one, I love apples, thanks for the recipe!

Just added this to my rotation! Thanks for a great recipe! Off to check out the others…we love our slow cooker!
Hello, I made this delicious recipe and served it with banana ice cream ( freeze slices of banana and process with vanilla extract until it resemble soft serve ice cream)
Totally yum. TFS
This looks good, I'll have to try it. I just made Apple Butter using the recipe from Make It Fast, Cook It Slow from the author of a sister year-round crockpotting site. I'm excited to see what you have up your sleeve now, too!
This was very good! I didn't quite have enough apples, so I used 1 pear too & it was still good. I cannot wait to try it w/blackberries!
