There are so many reasons to love an apple crisp: It makes the most of this season’s most beloved fruit. It’s a fall classic that comes together fast enough to satisfy a last-minute weeknight craving for dessert. And, as it bakes, it creates all those wonderful apple-pie-in-the-oven smells, without all the labor of making a crust. (Seriously, someone should make an apple crisp candle!)

This recipe is all that, plus an amazing hack—you make it in the slow cooker.

How do you slow-cook an apple crisp?

It’s so easy to make praline apple crisp in a slow cooker. In fact, this is almost a dump recipe. You just layer your apples in the bottom of the slow cooker, then sprinkle on the oatmeal topping—made with brown sugar, pecans, toffee and plenty of butter—put the lid on, set it and forget it. Time and the slow cooker will work their magic, and by the time dinner rolls around, you’ll have an amazing dessert.

What kind of apple do you use in Slow-Cooker Praline Apple Crisp?

For this apple crisp, we like to use a nice tart apple with a crisp bite, like Granny Smith or Braeburn. The recipe’s brown sugar and toffee bring out all the sweet-tart goodness in the apples. There’s just enough of the crispy topping to complement the soft apples and add a little crunchy texture.

Of course, like all crisps, Slow-Cooker Praline Apple Crisp tastes even better with a great big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. This dish will make a delightful end to any weekday meal.

Ingredient

6 medium-size crisp tart apples, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 6 cups)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup toffee bits
Vanilla ice cream, if desired

Instructions

Step 1
Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.

Step 2
In large bowl, mix apples and cinnamon to coat.

Step 3
Place in slow cooker.

Step 4
In medium bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, flour and butter with pastry blender or fork until crumbly.

Step 5
Stir in pecans and toffee bits.

Step 6
Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over apples.

Step 7
Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours.

Step 8
Serve apple crisp warm or at room temperature topped with ice cream.

Recipe Tips

If you want this recipe to come together even quicker, you can make the topping the day before you need it. Just cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. Pull it out about 5 minutes before you want to use it, so it can soften.
If you'd like the apple slices to retain their shape and have a slightly firm texture, start checking the apples at 4 hours, the low end of the cooking time range.
What’s better than a praline apple crisp? A praline apple crisp with a great big scoop of ice cream on it! Of course, vanilla is the classic pairing, but it’s also good with other flavors. We’d recommend a salted caramel or a cinnamon ice cream. And for a grown-up twist, a brown-sugar bourbon ice cream would be delicious, too.
