This Slow Cooker Apple Cobbler is made from fresh apples and it is a super easy fall dessert. Only a handful of ingredients are required. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I love making all kinds of foods in my crock pot, even desserts. This Crock Pot Pecan Pie is a big favorite!
During the summer you’ll find me making Slow Cooker Lemon Cake, but come fall it’s all about the apples.
Using a crock pot is a super convenient way to make a dessert. There’s more leeway in cooking time, so not much of a risk of burning anything.
Type Of Apples To Use
I use a mixture of Granny Smith and either Honey Crisp or Gala. I like the tartness of Granny Smith combined with a sweeter apple. You can use all one of the other if you wish.
How To Make Slow Cooker Apple Cobbler
This recipe is basically an apple dump cake recipe. The recipe starts with 6 cups of peeled and sliced fresh apples. The apples get tossed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the crock pot. No mixing bowl needed. Everything is done in the slow cooker for easy clean-up.
A box of yellow cake mix (no need to add anything to it) gets sprinkled on top of the apples, along with a little more cinnamon.
Finally, 1 stick of melted butter is drizzled on top. The butter and the liquid that comes out of the apples as they cook, is all the liquid needed to form the dry cake mix into a delicious cobbler topping. Easy Peeazy.

I want to make 12 servings. Will it make it too mushy in one crockpot? I’ve make the 6 serving before and was delicious.
The first time I made this, it was instantly my kids favorite fall apple treat.
Divine. Follow the recipe and take leap of faith and don’t mix.
Put a towel under the lid to absorb moisture to prevent a goey, sloppy mess.
Answer not given to what’s size slo cooker is used. I find that subscribers of particularly slo cookers most often fail to specify what size cooker they used. That is why I do not bother with such recipes.
I chose this recipe because my husband bought six apples and wasn’t eating them (haha), and my oven is broken and can’t be used right now. So I was really excited to find a recipe that fixed both issues. I checked it after 2 1/2 hours but it was still mushy on the top, so I left it for another hour almost. It was cooked more at the top but still not crispy so I called it quits to keep the bottom from burning. My family said it tasted great but needed a little crunch, which of course can only be achieved in an oven. All in all, a great recipe if you’re short on time and need a dump-and-go and recipe, or if you need a crowd-pleasing dessert without access to an oven. But if you want classic apple cobbler it’s better to use an oven.
