• 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups brown sugar (packed)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Lightly grease the inside of a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

2. Place the peeled and sliced apples in a large mixing bowl.

3. Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss the mixture until the apples are evenly coated.

4. Transfer the apple mixture to the slow cooker, spreading it out evenly.

5. In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, old-fashioned oats, and chopped pecans.

6. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples in the slow cooker.

8. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the crumble topping.

9. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours (or on high for 2–3 hours) until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and bubbling around the edges.

10. Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the apple crisp cool slightly (about 10–15 minutes) to allow the flavors to meld.

11. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
