I have been spending the summer cooking and baking in my slow cooker. I am working on reducing the heat in the house and reducing our energy cost with it. But I still want to feed my family full meals and enjoy delicious, tasty desserts, like this one.

SuperStore now has Flashfood, if you are in Canada you should definitely check it out. This is where I got a box of baking apples perfect for apple crisp, apple pies, and both my kids snacking, and our chickens.

What you need:

Apples Filling

8 apples, peeled and sliced
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup brown sugar

How to make Slow Cooker Apple Crisp

Start with 8 apples, peeled and sliced them. I used Gala apples as that’s what was in my fridge as they are our favorite apples to snack on.

Lightly butter the inside of your slow cooker, and lay the apple slices in the bottom, making sure to cover the whole bottom.

Next we are going to combine the sugar, flour, rolled oats, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. This is your topping which you are going to sprinkle over the base of apples.

Mix in either melted butter or melted coconut oil. I have used both and like both.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3 hours.

I couldn’t get enough of this! While it didn’t have the full toasty/crispiness that oven baked has, it was still there just not the whole top of it.

Blake said it didn’t quite make the mark for him. The girls loved it like their Momma. It was better than my microwave apple crisp, which you could also make to beat the baking heat if you don’t have a slow cooker.

Maybe you only have one apple in the house and you really want a treat, this single serve apple crisp hits the spot.

Do you do less baking in the summer as well? If you have a favorite slow cooker dessert recipe? I’d love to have you share it!
