Slow Cooker Autumn’s Best Apple Crisp
This Slow Cooker Autumn’s Best Apple Crisp is one of my husband’s all time favorite desserts.
After a hospital visit and learning that my husband could no longer eat nuts, I had to make some changes to our original recipe to accommodate him.
We actually like this even better!
I wanted a crunch on the top, so instead of nuts, I use Grapenut Cereal Nuggets. It gives nice texture to the dessert, while at the same time, adding some fiber.

Hi there. This looks incredible. I saw it on your Facebook this morning. Question… can I cook it in a pot that’s in the pot?? That way I can travel with it. Would there be adjustments to time? Thank you
I don’t see why not. Jill
This looks delicious! Could you use other fruits for this to change it up occasionally? Thanks so much!
Hi Susan~
Thanks for stopping by. You can definitely use other types of fruit for this crisp. Pears, berries, mango, peaches, would all be delicious.
