Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (peeled, cored, and sliced) Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup (drained) Canned pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Oats (old-fashioned)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 stick (cold, diced) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup (optional for extra tropical flavor) Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 quart (optional, for serving) Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them into even-sized pieces. Place the sliced apples in the bottom of your crock pot.
Step 2: Add the drained pineapple chunks on top of the apples in an even layer.
Step 3: Sprinkle the brown sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon over the fruit mixture. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly.
Step 4: In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, shredded coconut (if using), salt, and diced cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the mixture into a coarse crumbly texture.
Step 5: Evenly distribute the oat mixture over the top of the fruit mixture in the crock pot.
Step 6: Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 3 hours or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and crisp.
Step 7: Once cooked, let the apple crisp sit uncovered in the crock pot for 10 minutes to allow the topping to set.
Step 8: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
