Slow Cooker Apple Crisp with Cake Mix
Description
Leaving the lid slightly ajar on the slow cooker for the last hour of cooking gives this simple apple crisp a firm topping with deliciously caramelized edges.
Ingredients
•
2/3 cup white sugar, or to taste
•
2 tablespoons cornstarch
•
4 teaspoons apple pie spice, divided
•
12 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples
•
1/4 cup lemon juice
•
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
•
1 cup packed brown sugar
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Directions
1
Combine sugar, cornstarch, and 2 teaspoons apple pie spice in a small bowl.
2
Place apples in a large slow cooker. Stir in spice mixture and toss with lemon juice.
3
Mix cake mix, brown sugar, and remaining apple pie spice together in a medium bowl. Stir in melted butter until thoroughly blended; mixture will be crumbly. Sprinkle over apples in the cooker.
4
Cover and cook until apples are tender, on Low for 4 hours or on High for 2 hours. Partially uncover the slow cooker and continue to cook until the topping has hardened, about 1 hour more.
