Slow Cooker Apple Crisp with Warm Vanilla Sauce

There’s a lot of apple recipes flying around right now, and I can’t help but to jump in with both whisks. I love the fall season for the fresh fruits and vegetables, purchasing them in bulk and trying new comforting recipes.

As much as I love my No-bake apple pie parfaits recipe and this mouthwatering caramel apple milkshake – there’s something classic and comforting in a good old apple crisp!

Slow Cooker Apple Crisp with Warm Vanilla Sauce is a recipe I which I recently discovered, and one that I’ll be making time and again for the ease and taste. Apple crisp IS the epitome of fall, agree?

If you do, you also need to try my Maple Apple Crisp. It’s a Canadian twist on apple crisp that needs to be tried!

These past couple of weeks my slow cooker has found a permanent home on my kitchen counter, I’ve been using it so much. With school and activities in full swing, I’ve found it impossible to make dinner on certain days of the week.

Thus, I’ve designated a few days to always being ‘slow cooker recipe days’. It’s one small appliance that I just couldn’t live without.

Then on other days, it can be tricky to plan the timing of dinners and desserts which both require the oven, so using the slow cooker for one sure makes it easier. Heaven forbid you have no cooking space when you very much want that dessert, after all!

Or perhaps you aren’t the baking sort and need a guiding hand – both are great reasons why this Slow Cooker Apple Crisp with Warm Vanilla Sauce needs to be made. It might just be the easiest apple crisp ever!

This recipe only takes 2 hours of slow cooking, so it’s not a crockpot dessert recipe that requires all day to make. During which time may I add, the house fills with the amazing scent of apples and cinnamon. There’s nothing more comforting!

To throw this recipe over the top, I love the addition of the 3-ingredient warm vanilla sauce. It really is the perfect topping and compliment to the recipe.

In fact, the sauce is so good I could probably eat just that by the spoonfuls as well. Ok, full disclosure – I had a *few* tastes. So, as a note, don’t skip this part of the recipe or you’ll be missing out.

While there’s plenty of traditional apple crisp recipes out there, this warm vanilla sauce makes this one stand out as something pretty special. You’ll be reminded of that with each and every bite too!

How often do you make desserts in the slow cooker?
