Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Crisp
This is, for me, the quintessential fall dessert! This Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Crisp is filled with warm juicy apples, seasoned with cinnamon and spice and everything nice, topped with a delicious oatmeal based crisp topping and then, to top it off and put the proverbial icing on the cake, drizzled with warm caramel sauce!
And if that is not enough. There is always the option to serve this apple crisp with some vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream.
Oh my!
While this crisp was cooking away in the slow cooker, the house smelled AMAZING!
Seriously I wish I could bottle this scent and spray it all over the place!
OK brilliant tip alert… if you are selling your house, pop this in the crock-pot before showing your house to make it smell delicious!

This dessert recipe is sweet. To cut down the sugar content you can use a sugar substitute in place of the brown sugar and use both sugar free caramels and caramel sauce if you can find them. Or omit the caramel and you have just a really nice apple crisp recipe! Nutrition information based on 8 servings.

in the first part of the list of ingredients, there is 1/2C of four listed but no other mention of it. I guess it goes in the filling part to add substance to the juices.
I will fix that in the recipe. Thanks!
The sugar is listed in the apple part. Added by mistake. Perhaps it should be moved to toppings. Thanks for the recipe. Hopefully won’t be too sweet.
Thanks for noticing that Sue, I have edited the recipe to fix the brown sugar.
how big is the serving ?
About a cup is one serving.
Ohh my gosh this looks YUMMY! Thanks!
Just wondering if there is supposed to be brown sugar in both the “Ingredients” and the “topping”? Thanks!
Yes there is supposed to be brown sugar in both.
In one of your comments you said that there was brown sugar in both the apple part and the topping. If this is so, how much brown sugar goes into the apples. Can quick cooking oats be used or is it better with the old fashioned oats.
The recipe now reads correctly Dianne…it should be 1/4 cup brown sugar with the apples and 1/4 cup brown sugar in the topping. Sorry about that. When we transferred the recipe off of some old software we were using it lost an ingredient line in there somehow. I just double checked my hand-written notes on this recipe and it is 1/4 cup and 1/4 cup.
