Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Crisp

Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Crisp Recipe

This is, for me, the quintessential fall dessert! This Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Crisp is filled with warm juicy apples, seasoned with cinnamon and spice and everything nice, topped with a delicious oatmeal based crisp topping and then, to top it off and put the proverbial icing on the cake, drizzled with warm caramel sauce!

And if that is not enough. There is always the option to serve this apple crisp with some vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream.

Oh my!

While this crisp was cooking away in the slow cooker, the house smelled AMAZING!

Seriously I wish I could bottle this scent and spray it all over the place!

OK brilliant tip alert… if you are selling your house, pop this in the crock-pot before showing your house to make it smell delicious!

2. Unwrap all the caramels and cut each one in half with a sharp knife.
3. Mix diced apples, cinnamon, cloves, flour and cut up caramels in the slow cooker.
4. In a small bowl add the topping ingredients – cold butter, brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, cinnamon and a pinch of cloves and cut up with a pastry blender or two butter knives until you have a nice crumbly mixture.
5. Spread crumble topping mixture evenly over the top of the apples in the slow cooker.

Notes

This dessert recipe is sweet. To cut down the sugar content you can use a sugar substitute in place of the brown sugar and use both sugar free caramels and caramel sauce if you can find them. Or omit the caramel and you have just a really nice apple crisp recipe!
