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.
