Directions:
Prepare the Apple Mixture:
Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated.
Transfer the apple mixture to the bottom of a slow cooker.
Prepare the Topping:
In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the slow cooker.
Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Once done, remove the lid and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions: This cinnamon apple crisp pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. For a cozy fall evening, consider serving it alongside a warm cup of spiced cider or a chai latte. If you’re hosting a gathering, a side of mixed berries or a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette can balance the sweetness of the dessert.
Variations & Tips:
Nutty Twist: Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping mixture.
Spicier Flavor: Increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons and add a pinch of ground cloves.
Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
Fruit Mix: Experiment with different types of apples or mix in some pears for a unique flavor profile.
