Our apple crisp in a slow cooker recipe, developed by the Pillsbury Test Kitchens in 2019, puts an easy, modern twist on a classic dessert. While we've had other versions over the years—like the oven-baked recipe in the 1963 Family Cook Book and a microwave-friendly adaptation in the 1989 Pillsbury Cookbook—this slow-cooker version makes prep simpler and frees up oven space.

The method may be new, but the essentials remain: tender, cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery oat crumble. This highly rated recipe is perfect for fall, Thanksgiving, or family dinners. It cooks up warm and delicious every time—especially when served with vanilla ice cream. Whether you're hosting a holiday gathering or just craving a comforting treat, this slow-cooker apple crisp delivers big flavor with minimal effort.
