It’s also the perfect way to bake ahead so you don’t have to think about dessert while the main course is being eaten. With just a little prep and then cooking that takes care of itself, this Slow Cooker Apple Crumble is then ready to dish straight up, making it so convenient when you’re spending time cooking a special meal for guests or to finish off a Sunday roast.  Even if you’re a novice baker, you’ll be able to whip up this homemade pudding perfectly fine as it’s so easy. You can also make a double batch and freeze the rest for another day!

Slow Cooker Apple Crumble Ingredient Notes

Cooking apples – I used frozen for this but fresh work too. A cooking apple variety is important as it keeps shape as it cooks. Bradley apples are cooking apples Unsalted butter – Use this straight from the fridge Oats – I used Jumbo for texture but regular rolled oats are fine too Remaining ingredients – Caster sugar, cinnamon and plain flour

In the freezer This recipe freezes well. Just wait until it’s totally cold and then put into a freezer proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating in the microwave or oven. The trick to this dessert is the tea towel and lid tactic… put a clean tea towel under the slow cooker lid for the duration of the cooking time, then remove it (it will be damp) and put the lid back on, slightly ajar, for 30 minutes so the moisture can escape. This allows it to firm up. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations. If you’d like to share yours with me, you can tag me on Instagram (@tamingtwins).
