Ingredients
5 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices2 T. lemon juice
1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. old fashioned oats
3/4 c. dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter, cold
3/4 c. pecans, toasted and chopped

Slow Cooker Apple Pecan Crisp is an easy and yummy dessert that my family loves. I’ll usually put this in the crock an hour or so before dinner and then it’s timed perfectly to have a relaxing dessert just after our meal has had a chance to settle. (and the dishes have been done!) If you don’t have granny smith apples, feel free to sub any kind you would like. Enjoy!
- Place peeled and cored apples in a lightly greased 6-quart crock pot. Drizzle the apples with lemon juice, and toss to coat.
- Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture is crumbly.
- Sprinkle half of the topping mixture over the apples, ensuring that each slice is covered, then top with the remaining mixture.
- Cover and Crock on High for 1-1/2 – 2 hours or until apples are tender.
- Let sit for 15 – 30 minutes to cool slightly. Sprinkle with pecans.
- Serve warm with ice cream.
Note: I have added the toasted pecans at the beginning with the apples and it was still quite enjoyable. If you like the crunch, add at the end!
Happy Crocking!

Will definitely try making this!!
This was excellent. Thank you!
Dumb question probably, but I don’t cook/bake too often. If I’m going to triple this recipe, do I stay at 1 1/2 hours for the time in the crockpot?
Hi Cat! There is a rule of thumb when crocking that I am happy to share with you. For a slow cooker to crock properly it should be 1/2 to 2/3 full to crock properly. Therefore, if you will triple make sure your slow cooker is big enough, or you can make in multiple slow cookers. And the answer to your question about the time is, if you follow the rule of thumb, the crocking time would stay the same. Hope this helps! 😉
MMHHHMMM that looks awesome.. and I am just getting ready to buy a bigger crock pot due to the upcoming holidays and I will have a list of new recipes to try.. thank you.
Made this dessert for an informal dinner party but used peaches instead of apples. It was a BIG hit!!
I used 3 – 1 pound bags of frozen peaches that should be thawed first then the larger ones cut in half (hind sight is 20/20). Make the recipe as directed but make the mix twice in separate bowls. may seem a little runny but I think that is the best part.
You can use another bag of peaches if you don’t like it soo runny.
How many servings is this?? I don’t see it posted anywhere.

I have a 4 1/2 quart and a 7 quart slow cooker. Do you think I could fix this in my 4 1/2 quart?
This should work nicely in your 4 1/2 quart. Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
