Ingredients:

  • 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions:

  1. Peel, core, and slice the apples.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker. Dot with the 2 tablespoons of butter.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple filling in the slow cooker.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2-2.5 hours. Check for doneness – the apples should be tender and the topping lightly browned.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.
