# Ingredients:

→ Apple Filling

01 - 2 1/2 pounds apples, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
02 - 1/4 cup cornstarch or tapioca flour
03 - 14 oz sweetened condensed milk

→ Apple Crisp Topping

04 - 1 cup brown sugar
05 - 1 cup oats
06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (can be gluten-free or almond flour for lower carb)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
08 - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
09 - 2 teaspoons vanilla
10 - 8 tablespoons butter

# Steps:

01 - Grease the liner of a 3 to 5-quart oval slow cooker.
02 - Peel and slice apples thinly and add to slow cooker. Toss apple slices with cornstarch or tapioca flour until evenly coated. Pour sweetened condensed milk over slices and mix with a spoon.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and butter. Mix until crumbly with a fork.
04 - Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture in the slow cooker.
05 - Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

# Notes:

01 - Store leftover apple crisp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
02 - Reheat in the microwave in short bursts or in the oven at 350℉ for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
03 - Use a mix of sweet and sour apples, or just one variety that is not too sour.
04 - In the slow cooker, this will not become super crispy. To crisp it up further, crack the lid or lay a towel under the lid during the last 30-60 minutes to reduce moisture.
05 - If prepping ahead, store the topping separately from the filling mixture.
