For the topping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Slice your apples, keeping the peels on for added texture or peeling them for a smoother finish.
  • Layer the sliced apples evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker.

Mixing the Topping

  • In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Mix until the ingredients resemble a crumbly texture.

Cooking

  • Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the apples in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and set the slow cooker to low for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Check for doneness by poking the apples with a fork; they should be tender.

Serving
