Published: · Updated: by Tammilee · This post may contain affiliate links

I have a confession to make...I have to admit that I used to buy an apple crisp mix at the store. Not once, not even twice but multiple times I bought apple crisp mix at the grocery store. Oh, how I wish I would have known how easy it is to make apple crisp. I can say I will not be buying it at the grocery store at any point in the near future. This Crock Pot Apple Crisp is so dang easy and tastes amazing! Plus as a bonus, the house smells so good!

I made this at night and then reheated it in the morning and it was great. The first time I made this we ended up running a few errands that took longer than expected.

The Apple Crisp was in the Crock-Pot for about 5 hours on high. I would not suggest cooking it for this long. The crisp was really really crispy and the apples dried out a lot.

The 3-hour mark on high seems to work the best for this Apple Crisp Recipe

    I love this recipe! I use it all the time and always get compliments. I have a small slow cooker but this dessert is very filling and has served 8 (three of them young children).
    2 1/2 - 3 hours is perfect

    Hi Tammilee, just saw the recipe for Crock Pot Apple Crisp, it looks delicious. But do have a question, what kind of "oats" did you use? Are they the quick oats or the cooking oats? And also, what type of apples do you use? 🙂 Thanks so much. Can't wait to fix this, apple season is on it's way. Have a wonderful day... 🙂

    Hi Tammillee,

    My mouth is drooling to try your cornbread. We don't have, at least I haven't seen any "Jiffy Cornbread Mix" near my city of Toronto, Ontario. However on the net at http://www.busycooks.about./od/homemademixes/r/cornbreadmix.htm they give you the recipe to make
    your own mix It may be difficult that I haven't even tasted corn bread, cornbread muffins etc. I'm dieing to make this one come the weekend. By the way whats the difference btween cornbread corn muffins and cornbread used for stuffing? I've never made a cake either. ;D As Jade says I hope not to mess things up. Oh yeah, are rolled oats the same as classic ones?
    Also which size are the crockpots you're using per recipe as you mentioned you have several?

    I know you used quick oats, but old-fashioned is all I have. Would that be okay, too?

    • Tammilee

      I have not tried it with Old fashioned oats. I think they would be ok.

        I used old fashioned oats and they worked fine!

    I am not much of cook, so please forgive this crazy question! In order for this recipe to be doubled, would you just increase the ingredients as if you were making 2 batches? For example, 8-10 cups of apples, 2 cups of oats, 3 cups of flour, 2 cups of brown sugar, etc. I just want to be sure I don't mess this up too terribly! 🙂 Thanks for you help!

Crock Pot Apple Crisp Recipe - Tammilee Tips (2024)

FAQs

How do you keep apple crisp from getting soggy? ›

You need to use flour and baking powder to help turn the juices from the apples into a thickened sauce. By following this recipe, you'll avoid having a runny apple crisp.

How to make apple crisp not watery? ›

Cornstarch or arrowroot starch – this is how we get a thick and not watery apple crisp!

Why is my apple crisp not crunchy? ›

The main reason your crumble topping isn't crunchy is probably because you haven't used Demerara sugar. Although, it could also be that you've got your topping ingredient quantities wrong: either too much or not enough flour and butter alongside the sugar.

How to tell when your apple crisp is done? ›

Bake the apple crisp until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Serve the crisps warm with vanilla bean ice cream or fresh whipped cream, if desired.

Why did my apple crisp get mushy? ›

There are two essential factors, the type of apple you choose and the cooking method. Some varieties of apple turn to mush when cooked. Macintoshes and Red Delicious are among these. Granny Smiths stay firm but are tart.

How do you thicken apple crisp filling? ›

Adding cornstarch and flour to the apple mixture will help bring your crisp's filling together. You want to make sure you have a nice balance of the sweet and tart in your dessert.

How to fix soggy crumble topping? ›

The most common culprit of a soggy crumble is the use of too much butter! Try adding just a bit more flour to soak it up.

Should I cover my apple crisp while baking? ›

Baking: Start baking the apple crisp covered with foil. This allows the apples to soften without any risk of the topping over-browning. After about 20 minutes, remove the foil and let the crisp finish cooking uncovered. Once the juices are bubbling, the topping is golden brown, and the apples are tender, it is done!

Why add flour to apple crisp? ›

Flour- Flour helps to create the perfect topping and bind it all together. I used all-purpose. You can definitely substitute with gluten-free flour but I'm not sure how oat flour, coconut flour or almond flour would work. Butter- The butter gives the best flavor and texture and holds together the dry ingredients.

What is the secret to crunchy crumble? ›

A pastry chef friend shared the technique. Instead of sprinkling the raw crumbs on top of the fruit, where they absorb the juices and turn a little mushy on their undersides, he spread them out in a pan and baked them separately, until crisp and cookielike.

What are the best apples for apple crisp? ›

Here are our favorite apples that hold up well under the heat:
  • Fuji. ...
  • Golden Delicious. ...
  • Honeycrisp. ...
  • Jonagold. ...
  • McIntosh. ...
  • Pick the Right Tool. ...
  • Make Even Cuts. ...
  • Don't Waste. It is fine to use overripe apples in an apple crisp, so go ahead and use those up if you've got them.

Is there a difference between apple crisp and apple crumble? ›

Like an apple crisp, an apple crumble is a baked fruit dessert with a layer of topping. But unlike the crisp, the crumble topping rarely includes oats or nuts. Instead, a crumble's topping is more like streusel, made with flour, sugar and butter.

Should you refrigerate apple crisp after you make it? ›

Covered and refrigerated, this apple crisp will stay fresh for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 325°F for 10 minutes, or until warmed through. The streusel oat topping will begin to soften after the first day, so be aware of that (though it will still taste great regardless!).

Why is my apple crisp dry on top? ›

Not enough butter, and your topping will be a dry, floury mess. Too much butter and your topping will become a greasy blob or disappointingly soggy. Some recipes will ask you to cut in cold butter along with your dry ingredients, resulting in pea-size pieces that are sprinkled across the hot fruit filling.

How to stop crumble topping from going soggy? ›

I always have oats in my crumble topping. I think without oats, it's more a streusel, but I might be wrong. Either way-a thicker layer of it helps it stay more moisture resistant and give that nice crunch.

Can I cut apples the night before for apple crisp? ›

We prefer to prep the apples when we make the crisp, but you can prep them ahead of time. Peel and slice the apples and toss them with lemon juice, then pack tightly in freezer bags and refrigerate for up to one day.
