💛 Slow Cooker Apple Crisp 🍏

 INGREDIENTS:

▪For the apple mixture:

🔸8 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

🔸½ cup packed light brown sugar

🔸2 tablespoons granulated sugar

🔸2 teaspoons cinnamon

🔸¼ teaspoon nutmeg

🔸¼ teaspoon salt

▪For the crisp topping:

🔸1 cup old-fashioned oats

🔸¾ cup white whole wheat flour

🔸¼ cup packed light brown sugar

🔸1 teaspoon cinnamon

🔸¼ teaspoon salt

🔸½ cup cold unsalted butter cut into cubes

Ice cream, for serving (optional)

 INSTRUCTIONS:

▪Make the apple mixture:

🔹Place sliced apples in the slow cooker. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir. (Be sure to use a non-metal spoon so as not to scratch your slow cooker insert.) Let sit while you prepare the crisp topping.

▪Make the crisp topping:

🔹Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Stir until well combined. Using your fingertips, work the butter into the oat mixture until the mixture starts to clump together.

🔹Stir the apple mixture one more time and then spread apples out into an even layer. Sprinkle on the crisp topping.

▪Cook the apple crisp:

🔹Cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 3-3 1/2 hours, until apples are soft. Turn off heat and let stand for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving (keeping the lid on). Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
