Crockpot Baked Apples
I’m totally having an apple obsession this year. I mean, I’ve always loved apple everything, but I’m typically all about pumpkin every year. This fall I just want all things apple. Food. Soap. Lotion. Candles. You name it. Especially when it involves baking them because it makes the entire house smell amazing.
These baked apples are basically apple pie filling without the crust! Don’t get me wrong, I love buttery and flaky pie crust, but we all know it’s not so healthy. This dessert is a happy medium. You’ve got all of the baked apple goodness and you can still top them with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Crockpot Baked Apples
Crockpot Baked Apples - All of the goodness of an apple pie made in the slow cooker! Tender spiced apples perfect for eating with ice cream!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs. apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Place the sliced apples into the crockpot. Add the sugars, cinnamon, and the nutmeg. Stir until the apples are well-coated in the sugar mixture. Distribute the butter cubes over the top of the apples.
- Cover and cook on low for about 4-5 hours until the apples are soft (but not mushy). Serve in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top. Garnish with cinnamon if desired. Store leftovers in a container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave.

Sometimes you feel like crust.. and sometimes you don’t. I think my family would love this version. Thanks for inviting me to Crock-pot week. I have had great time and I even did it the other two days to make it a whole week for me. :)
Have a great weekend!
I have to laugh, we have almost the same recipe! :) Your baked apples look amazing! Isn’t it one of the best desserts? I like it without the pie crust, I don’t seem to miss it!

I am not a fan of pie – i really don’t like the crust. The filling however for an apple pie is delicious. Just like this recipe – its perfect.
I’ve always thought baked apples are so comforting.. I love that I can now make them in my beloved Crock Pot. This is awesome!
OHHH! I always want to get crockpot because of all the delicious savory dishes, and somehow I never thought of using it for desserts! Now this is a totally new way to enjoy the dessert and I love it!

Stephanie…. every time I visit I am inspired by your beautiful photography and inventive recipes… love the idea of crock pot desserts and have not explored very much in this direction. What a revelation! Your baked apples look delightful (I think I can smell them from here).

I feel stupid asking this but… what should the crock pot be turned on? Warm or a certain temperature?
Novella, it should be cooked on low. Most slow cookers have a “low” and “high” setting.
Hi
I dont have a Crock pot. Any idea how I can poach the apples in a deep pan or pot over an electric stove. and how much time would that take?
