Slow Cooker Apple Crisp
I am just jived about my slow cooker this winter, so many fabulous recipes have come out of it recently like this Slow Cooker Apple Crisp! Hey, why can’t a dessert be the next one?
I have bags of apples frozen in my freezer from when my girlfriend Marie brought me a huge bag back in the fall. Nothing I love better than a good apple crisp.
This was lovely warm right out of the crockpot. So super easy with my already peeled and sliced frozen apples too.
I tweaked my already great recipe for apple crisp and loaded it all into the slow cooker. The flavor was rich, sweet, and decadent.
Everything an apple crisp should be. The topping was still crunchy too just like if it was baked in the oven.
With a little whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, you have an amazing dessert!!

Interesting recipe. I’d like to try it; never made apple crisp in a slow cooker.
Just wondering, because I didn’t see it mentioned in your recipe, how to use frozen apples for this recipe?
Must the slices be thawed and drained before putting them into the crock-pot? Would the cooking time be shorter than the four hours you indicate?
Thanks!

You could use frozen apples. I would thaw them a bit before putting them in. You will get a softer texture with frozen. Four hours should still be fine but check it and you may want to go shorter or longer.

This looks so good, I have never made a dessert in the crockpot and this one might just be the first one I try!

Just saw a wicked hot brownie recipe, think that might be my next try. I have also made a pineapple crisp. I would even make them for company as they would be a hit, yummy and warm dessert right out of the slow cooker!!!
