Slow Cooker Apple Crumble
Ingredients
- 8 large Granny Smith apples
- 1 orange, juiced
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ¾ cups plain flour
- ¾ cups brown sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
For serving
- Frozen vanilla yogurt
Instructions
- Peel, core, and chop each apple into 1’2” pieces.
- Place all the apple pieces in the bowl of the slow cooker. Pour orange juice and vanilla over the apples and stir to combine.
- In a mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Using a fork stir well to combine all the dry ingredients.
- Add melted butter and using a fork mix well until you get a crumble consistency. Since we are using less butter than a usual crumble, the mixture will not be very wet. Sprinkle over apples in slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours until apples are soft. You can also reduce the heat to low after 3 hours and keep it slow cooking for up to six hours so it stays warm for your after-dinner dessert.
- Serve with frozen vanilla yogurt.
Enjoy!
