Crock Pot Apple Crisp
Description
The recipe for Crock Pot Apple Crisp calls for peeled and sliced apples combined with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. The apples cook gently in a slow cooker, softening while retaining shape. The topping, made from a mixture of all-purpose flour, brown and granulated sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cold butter cut into pea-sized pieces, and chopped walnuts, is spread evenly over the apples before cooking.
The dish is cooked covered on high or low for a few hours, followed by partially uncovering to reduce moisture, resulting in a tender filling beneath a crumbly, aromatic topping. The blend of warm spices and nutty crunch complements the natural sweetness and tang of the apples.
This apple crisp is best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream to balance its texture and spice. Using apple varieties suitable for baking ensures consistent cooking. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for several days, or in the freezer up to three months, and can be reheated in a microwave or oven to revive the crisp topping.
Ingredients
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter cold
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
Filling
- 6 cups apple peeled and sliced
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Grate the cold butter into the bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two knives, until the pieces are no larger than pea-sized. Add the walnuts and toss to combine.
- Spray the crock pot with cooking spray, then add the apple slices to the crock pot. Add the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice, and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle the topping in an even layer over the apples. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 4 hours. Partially uncover, and continue cooking for one hour to remove the excess moisture from the topping.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Notes
- Use baking apple varieties like Jonagold, Honey Crisp, or Granny Smith for optimal texture.
- Slice apples uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
- Reheat in microwave for convenience or oven to restore crispness to the topping.
