Having a good apple crisp recipe is pretty essential for fall, don’t you think? And this one is made in a crock pot – so that’s a bonus, right? With only a few ingredients, you can throw it all in a slow cooker and have dessert with minimal effort. Because, let’s face it – dessert is the most important meal of the day 🙂
CROCK POT APPLE CRISP RECIPE
I do love apple crisp recipe but I will admit this was my first time trying it in a crock pot and… oh my word. Talk about easy and the house smelled amazing too.
And it would be even better by adding some toffee chips and pecans to the top, right?
This took almost no time to throw together and it was delicious!
Here’s a handy tip to remember if you are making a crisp style dessert in a slow cooker. Once the dessert is done baking, turn off the slow cooker and remove the lid, shaking off excess liquid from the steam and wipe it dry. Replace the lid leaving it cracked by about an inch while the dessert cools for an hour and this will help the top become even crispier.
I hope you try this Apple Crisp Recipe and if you do, please let me know how it turned out!

I seriously need to pull out that slow cooker and learn how to us it. 😉 This looks delicious Claire, and I love how simple it is!!
Thanks Lisa!! 🙂
Hi Claire,
This looks AMAZING!! Thank you for posting it.
I want to try this up at our camp. Do you know if it would work if I doubled or even tripled the recipe? I have a large crock pot that could easily fit it. I need to feed 24 people.
Thanks so much for the help if you can.

Hi Debbie! I am sure this would work just fine doubled or tripled. It’s so simple and really you are just getting those apples cooked. Hope you enjoy it!!
Sounds good. Thank you and Happy 4th to you.
Thanks Liz – hope you had a great 4th!
This looks great, Claire! I totally need to make a dessert in my crockpot one day!
I can’t wait to try this! It looks a-MAZ-ing!
Thanks so much, Amy!
Made this for the 4th of July weekend and it was great!! Loved the simplicity of the recipe and the end result was so delicious. I know I used more pecans than the recipe called for and toasted them first, but other than that I followed your recipe to the letter, cooked for about 4 1/2 – 5 hours on low and it was perfect! (In fact, I’m having some for breakfast today!)
That’s fantastic, Karen!! So glad you enjoyed it! And you can never go wrong with extra nuts. Or toffee chips. I probably used more than I called for too. 😉 Have a wonderful week!
