Crock Pot Apple Crisp

I made this out of curiosity. What would Crock Pot Apple Crisp be like? 

I ended up loving it! It was so good that I couldn’t keep my spoon out of the crock pot after it was made. I ate so much I wasn’t hungry for dinner. When my son tasted it he said….This is real food!  He liked the fact that there were apples, pecans and oatmeal in it.  It wasn’t a dessert to him, it was real food.

Why make Apple Crisp in the crock pot instead of in the oven?  There are occasions when this version of apple crisp might suit your needs and tastes better than baked .  This would be great to take to pot lucks, office parties or camping.  Make it in the crock pot, take the crock pot with you and plug it in when you get to where your going and you have warm absolutely delicious Apple Crisp. We’re going to make this incredible apple treat together so let’s gather the ingredients.

Crock Pot Apple Crisp Ingredients:

Topping Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup whole oats (not quick oats) uncooked
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 Teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter cut into pieces
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Corn Starch Mixture Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon corn starch
• 1/2 Teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon

Other Ingredients:

• 8 medium size baking apples ( I used Gala Apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks)
• 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla

Starting the process

We start the recipe by peeling 8 Gala baking apples ( or the baking apple of your choice) and cutting them into chunks.  Toss the apple chunks with 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice and place them inside the crock pot along with the vanilla extract. 

Place the flour, oatmeal, light brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together to combine them. Add the 1/2 cup cold butter pieces to the bowl and work them into the ingredients with a fork or your fingers until you have coarse crumbs. Set the mixture aside while we make the cornstarch mixture. 

Next…

Place the white sugar, corn starch, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium size bowl. Whisk the ingredients together.  Stir the cornstarch mixture into the chopped apples in the crock pot. 

Sprinkle the topping we made over the apple chunks in the crock pot, making sure to cover the apples in the topping. The Apple Crisp cooks in the crock pot on high for 2 hours, the lid is removed and the crisp continues to cook in the crock pot for an hour to help the topping crisp. 

First, since it’s made in the crock pot, don’t expect a crisp top like you would if it was baked.  The oatmeal does get somewhat crisp, but again, not like it would be in the oven.  That said, you still need to make it!  It’s a whole other fantastic taste and texture than a traditional oven baked apple crisp!  Crock Pot Apple Crisp, it’s what’s for dessert and you’re going to love it!
