Ingredients
8 cups Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into half-inch thick wedges.
Toss the apples with lemon juice in a large bowl and transfer to a greased crock pot.
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Stir in the old fashioned oats until combined.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apples in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden and set.
Notes
Use a layer of paper towels under the crock pot lid to absorb excess moisture and ensure a crispier topping. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
