Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Toss them with lemon juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  2. Layer the apples: Pour the apple mixture into the slow cooker or air fryer basket.
  3. Make the topping: In another bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, remaining brown sugar, and salt. Pour in melted butter and mix until crumbly.
  4. Add the topping: Spread the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the slow cooker or air fryer.
  5. Cook: For a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. For an air fryer, preheat to 350°F and cook for about 25-30 minutes, checking for browning.
  6. Check for doneness: The apples should be tender and bubbly, while the topping is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

Mix different types of apples for a more complex flavor profile. You can pre-cut the apples and assemble everything a day in advance.
