Instructions

1. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.

2. Grease the crockpot insert with nonstick spray and pour in the apple mixture evenly.

3. In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

4. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Sprinkle oat topping evenly over the apples. Do not stir.

6. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 2.5 hours or LOW for 3.5 to 4 hours.

7. For a crispier topping, prop the lid open slightly for the last 30–45 minutes to release steam.

8. Scoop and serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Best apples: Use tart-sweet varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for balance.

Avoid quick oats as they break down too much; stick with old-fashioned oats for a crisp texture.

To store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

To reheat: Bake at 350°F for 10–15 minutes or microwave in short intervals.
