Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Crumble has cinnamon apples topped with a crumbly oat mixture – and it’s made in the crockpot so it is super simple! A delicious fall dessert recipe.
This Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Crumble is one of my favorite fall recipes!
I love a crockpot dessert and this one couldn’t be any simpler. I’m willing to bet that you already have ever single ingredient in your kitchen so now you just have to put it all together in your slow cooker and let it work it’s magic.
I love making this one for the parties we host during football season because it’s hands off and it’s always such a hit. Someone always asks for this recipe!
If you want a more traditional apple dessert, try Apple Crisp or Apple Cider Doughnuts!
Ingredients
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar
- Apples
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Oats
- Brown sugar
- Flour
- Cinnamon
- Butter
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, apples, salt, and cinnamon. Spread onto bottom of slow cooker.
- Mix your crumble topping ingredients until it comes together. Sprinkle it over top of the apples.
- Cook on low for 4 hours, or high for 2 hours.
- Turn off heat and let sit, covered, for one hour to let the caramel thicken.
But Where Is the Caramel?
I get a lot of questions asking why caramel isn’t listed in the ingredients.
Because caramel is just caramelized sugar!
The sugars turn into the caramel when they are cooked. And since this recipe calls for both brown sugar and granulated sugar, they turn into a super thick, super delicious caramel that coats the apples perfectly.
How Long Is It Good For?
Apple crumble will be good for about 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. These airtight glass containers are my favorite for pretty much everything.
I definitely recommend warming it up before serving it.
Can You Freeze Apple Crumble?
You can freeze this apple crumble. Make sure to cool it completely and then transfer to a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
When you are ready to serve it, let it defrost overnight in the fridge and then you can warm it up in the microwave, oven, or even put it back in the slow cooker for an hour or so.

Beverly says
I’m not sure if I missed it or not, but what size crockpot do you need to do this in. I want to make this sometime this week. It looks really delicious. Thanks for the great recipe.
amanda says
I use a small one – like a 4 quart or something close to that.
Roberta Butler says
I would imagine many varieties of apples would work….but which ones would you recommend? This looks wonderful. Can’t wait to make it. Thank you for sharing.
Terry H says
I make an apple pie with equal amounts of Granny Smith and Braeburn apples.
Dawn Gardner says
This looks amazing. It is in my crock pot right now. I changed a few things: I added a cup of blueberries and to the topping added a scoop of vanilla protein. In place of the butter I I used coconut oil. Smells great. Thank you for the recipe.

Are you even kidding me?!! I can’t believe she jumped out of the window! I would’ve FLIPPED out!!
Kim Beaulieu says
I can relate, I’m sick as a dog right now. Although I have no idea why that saying makes any sense. Are dogs notoriously sick? It boggles the mind.
I am digging this apple recipe. It makes me want to run into the kitchen right now. Sadly I can only meander right now so it might wait a week. The photos are spectacular.
And I shouldn’t admit to this, but I hate pumpkin. I know right. I should be kicked out of the foodie community immediately.
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Sorry you guys all got sick! Love that you used your slow cooker for this. I made an apple crumble today that I’m going to post next week. No slow cooker though!
Rachel Ferre says

This looks so comforting and the perfect dessert for fall! I just got a ton of apples from my neighbor and this would be the perfect way to use some of them up!
Marcie says
This looks absolutely delicious! I bought Nutella this year for the first time and I’ve used it in baking so much. I never bought it before because I figured I’d eat it all. I was right.
Kelly Senyei | Just a Taste says
This looks absolutely incredible! I will be making it this weekend :)
Yum Yucky says
Basically drooled all over the computer screen trying to press the “print” button on this recipe. I require large portions of Apple Crumble.
nicole @ I am a honey bee says
I want this. I think I can justify it as it has apples in there and therefore it’s healthy. (I get my tupid sugar test in 2ish weeks!)
well i broke the oct 1st rule today!! ha!!
Nutmeg Nanny says
Oh goodness, this looks wonderful! I used to eat a version of this as a little girl :) love it
