Perfect Crockpot Apple Crisp Recipe
This apple crisp recipe works perfectly in the crockpot. Because crockpot lids are tight-fitting, the moisture and juice cannot escape, so you will end up with a super-juicy, moist apple crisp recipe. Known, as apple crumble in the UK, apple crisp is wonderful comfort food, especially when served piping hot. It is made in two layers; first you have a layer of apple slices and then on top is the sugar, flour, butter, and spice mixture which is the "crisp" part.
Cooking apples are bigger than regular apples so if you can only get regular ones that is fine but use eight not six. Cooking apples are no good raw but they are nice cooked because they are not too sweet. They are perfect here because the topping is sweet, so the apples contrast, but sweeter apples are also nice. If you still want a non-sweet contrast, then serve unsweetened cream with the finished dessert.
You can top this apple crisp however you like. Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream are traditional accompaniments for apple crisp, and you could also add some maraschino cherries. So if you have some cooking apples to use up, why not make this flavorful apple crisp?
