One of my husband’s favorite dessert is Apple Pie and I make it quite often! So when I saw Slow Cooker Apple Pie in a cookbook, I knew I had to try it, however I did change the recipe to his liking. This recipe can be tossed into the slow cooker and you don’t have to worry about it at all…love that! Once it was done he had one serving with whipped cream and the other one he put in a bowl with some milk. He said both were good, but he liked it better with the milk because that’s how he eats his apple pie. This recipe was so simple to make and a great way to make apple pie if you’re in a hurry!
Ingredients are as follows:
8 C apples (peeled, cored and sliced)
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 eggs (beaten)
3/4 C milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 C sugar
5 Tbsp. butter (softened)
1 1/2 C biscuit baking mix (divided in half)
1/3 C brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Toss the apples, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and nutmeg together.
Place these into the greased slow cooker.
Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, 2 Tbsp. butter and 3/4 C baking mix.
Pour over the apples.
Combine brown sugar, the remaining 3/4 C baking mix and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon together; cut in the 3 Tbsp. butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle over the apples and batter; do not stir!
Cover the top of the crock with a paper towel (this will absorb the moisture), place the lid on and cook on low for 6-7 hours (I checked mine at 6 hours and it was done). Spoon some out, top with whipped cream (or place in a bowl with some milk) and enjoy!
It all depends on the size of your apples, however I would say around 8-10 apples 🙂

I loved the slow cooker apple Pie except the topping wasn't crunchy like in a regular oven. Isn't it suppose to be crunchy/crispy? Any suggestions.
The topping for this isn't supposed to be crispy; the moisture inside the slow cooker keeps it moist 🙂
Has anybody tried it? I am just wondering if it comes out mushy?
Mine wasn't mushy, but I took mine out at 6 hours. If you wanted it to be firmer you could always check it around 5 hours and go from there 🙂
what size of crockpot
I used a 6 quart for this recipe 🙂
