Delicious! I addeda large handful of oatmeal to the crisp topping, as suggested by other reviewers. I cooked it on low for 3 hours, then turned the lid crooked so each end of the oval cooker was exposed and cooked one hour, the topping was quite crisp.

After reading all of the reviews stating that the topping was not crunchy I didn't expect it to be. So with that understanding it was pretty good. Kind of mushy but good with whipped cream or even better with ice cream. The next day it was even better (at least 4 stars) once I put it in the oven to reheat. Thanks for sharing!

we loved it. Used all Granny Smith apples and added 1 pack instant Oatmeal (Cinnamon and Apple) and cooked it for 4 hours on low, took off the lid and cooked another hour on high. Came out crunchy, but not too crunchy. Will make this over and over again.

I haven't had much success lately with apples for some reason. I had also been wanting to try a dessert in the crock pot pot. This fit the bill for both. I did not have any success with this either and wasted a lot of ingredients. First of all it only made 6 servings so I had to double it to have enough. I have one of the new larger slow cookers so it was no problem. I used all granny smith apples. Followed directions to the letter. I left it in the slow cooker for a couple of hours on low and then uncovered it for the last hour. Finally to keep it warm for dinner, I kept it on the "keep warm" setting". I should have turned it off b/c it burned in the left end very badly, although it did not smell burned. One of my daughters liked it - no one else cared for it. Most of it stayed in the 'fridge for the rest of the week and no one warmed any up to eat again. I agree with rae on the Apple Mush. It was very sweet. I give this a thumbs down. Even with the lid off the topping never got remotely crisp. The white ceramic bowl in my cooker is stained and I still need some good apple recipes. This makes the third one I have tried. When I told my daughter what I was cooking,she said, "Oh, no! Mom you always have trouble with apples!" and I did. . . . perhaps it was me but I have to give this only 3 stars at best b/c I doubled it that could have been the problem.

I don't have a slow cooker so I did this in the oven, and I have to say I can't see why you would bother doing it any other way. Preparing the apples took the most time and you have to do it either way. I used half Granny Smith and half Macs and I added oatmeal to the topping, and baked it at 375 for about 40 minutes. The spice balance was excellent.

This came out very good. The taste was great. I was a little disappointed in the topping. I would have liked it to be crispier. My kids enjoyed it and said it tasted like an apple pie without the crust. I will try this again but in the oven next time. I used paula red apples and they cooked down quite a bit. I think depending on the type of apples you use, you should adjust your cooking time.

OMG! This is awesome. so simple. my kids left nothing for hubby so i hadda make more. BUT... I baked it in the oven in a 9x13 glass pan sprayed with pam uncovered for 40 minutes. substituted raisens for the walnuts. Used Fuji apples. This was a nice project for the kids.

The topping wasn't very crispy and it never hardened, but it was still really tasty. Thanks for the recipe!

I thought that this was good and it tasted like apple pie. But I do prefer a crunchier top made with oats. It was very easy to make and tasted great with vanilla ice cream.

What a simple recipe! I never thought of using my crockpot to make a dessert. To this recipe I added a pint of my canned pears (drained). I substituted the nutmeg for pumpkin pie spice but only because I am not a huge fan of nutmeg. I did add some extra dashes of cinnamon because we like a strong cinnamon taste in desserts. I did remove the lid for an additional 1/2 hr for the crumb topping to firm up but it really didn't harden at all. All in all, the apple crisp was simply delicious!! I definitely will be making this again. I've already promised the kids that I will make it for our big Thanksgiving dinner.

I used 3 Granny Smith apples, 3 Gala, and 3 Jonagold. My sliced apples filled a 3 quart bowl, which worked perfectly in my 4 quart slow cooker and cooked to just over 1/2 that amount but my apples were quite large to start with. One variety turned to mush and I am sure it wasn't the Granny Smith. Some held their shape well and were actually cooked perfectly. The flavor was very good and had just the right amount of sweetness. However, it never hardened on top. For this reason alone, I don't think I will be making it in the slow cooker again - I will stick to using my oven.

Taste was excellent. Made to the recipe, once you get the components of the recipe together, this is very easy. Only cooked on high for 1 1/2 hours, then the hour for the top to harden. The cooking time for my apples from our backyard tree was still too long, they were more than done. The top never did 'harden' up, I don't see how it could get crispy in the crockpot. Oatmeal added to the top mixture would probably help. Still, it had a yummy flavor and this would be good done in the oven at far less time than the crockpot. The crockpot method has its place under certain circumstances I would think, but I will not make again this way, I will do in the oven, with this recipe. Thanks for the recipe!

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe but my kids liked it. I like my apple crisp with a little bit crispier top than this one makes. It seems a little soft. I did use three different kinds of apples since they were not specified in the recipe. I used 3 Granny Smith, 3 Fuji, and 1 Red Delicious (because I was short an apple and that is what I had on hand). I also added an extra Tbs of cornstarch because I knew the Red apple would go to mush. The Granny Smith apples did not soften up, they stayed crunchy after 3 hours on high, I think my cuts were to big on the Granny Smith apples. The fuji were cooked perfectly though. For the topping I added a cup of oats in to the mix. I will probably throw the leftovers in the oven to crisp up the topping. Served with vanilla ice cream on top.

SUPER easy and SUPER yummy! I added 1 cup of oats to the crumb mixture before mixing it all together. Serve with vanilla ice cream and be prepared to make serious YUMMY NOISES!!!!

Very good and easy. I think next time I will add a little oatmeal to the crumb mixture. Otherwise it was great with a side of ice cream. We camp alot and I like to bring things to make in the crockpot, this was nice because it is done in 2 hours without heating up the house/camper. Thanks SDROSIE. I will make this again. Good flavors. UPDATE: Just as good the next day cold. Loved this and will make again.
