Description

Ingredients

• 6-7 large apples (8-10 smaller apples), I recommend granny smith, honey crisp or something more tart or a combination of apples is nice too
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1 & 1/2 cup steel cut oats, not quick cooking
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 & 1/2 stick butter, cold and cut into pieces

Directions

• Spray a crock pot lightly with non-stick cooking spray and turn onto low. Skin and core the apples. Cut the apples into slices that are about 1/4 inch thick. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves. Toss with your hands to coat the apples. Transfer the apples to the crock pot. In the same mixing bowl (you can rinse and dry!), combine the oats, all purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and cut butter. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until only pea sized pieces of butter remain. Gently spread the oat topping over the apples. Place a kitchen towel under the crock pot lid - the towel will help to absorb moisture and prevent the topping from becoming too moist. Cook on low for 3 hours, with the towel in place. After 3 hours, turn the crock pot off and let the crisp sit for 1 hour with the lid on before serving. Enjoy warm or cold! We love ours with vanilla ice cream.
