Indulge in the cozy, comforting flavors of fall with this Crock Pot Oatmeal Apple Crisp recipe, an easy and hands-free dessert that fills your home with the irresistible aroma of spiced apples and buttery oats. Fresh, tender apples are coated in a delightful blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and a splash of bright lemon juice, then slow-cooked to perfection beneath a crisp, crumbly oatmeal topping made with brown sugar and cold, cubed butter. The best part? Your crock pot does all the work, while a clever kitchen towel trick ensures the topping stays golden and crunchy. Perfect for serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, this warm and rustic treat is ideal for cozy family dinners, potlucks, or anytime you crave an effortless yet impressive dessert.
Grease the inside of your crock pot with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent the apple crisp from sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Transfer the apples to the greased crock pot.
In another bowl, prepare the oatmeal topping by combining the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter to the mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oatmeal topping evenly over the apples in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with a clean kitchen towel before placing the lid on top. This helps absorb excess moisture and prevents the topping from becoming soggy.
Cook on LOW for 3 hours or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Once done, carefully remove the lid and towel, allowing any steam to escape. Let the apple crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or enjoy it on its own!
