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 am making this right now. It has been 2.5 hours and the topping still looks doughy but the sides are bubbling. I do not want to burn the apples. It smells amazing, any suggestions?
Too late to help you. How did it turn out? It’s so difficult with crock pot recipes because each crock pot seems to cook differently.
For about 20 or 25 people how much of a modification in the receipt would I do?
Can you double this in a large crockpot? 6 serving will not be enough for thanksgiving.
Yes, you should be able to double it.
any reason I can not sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the apples, then the cake mix?
I love the crunchiness of the pecans on desserts.
Thanks!
Yes, you can definitely add pecans. I love them in desserts too.
How many apples (roughly) Makes 6 cups?
Thanks! This look so delicious! Can’t wait to make it!
This looks incredible! Have got to try it!
I think that I am going to try this with peaches!
I bet peaches would be really good!
This is getting me so excited for fall! I’ve never made a cobbler in the crock pot before, so I definitely need to try this. Looks wonderful, Christin!
Oh I bet this makes the house just smell amazing while it’s cooking!! Perfect for all those fall apples!
Every single time you post a slow cooker dessert I always think about how I need to branch out with mine more often from savory dishes! Huge yay for apple cobbler – it’s one of my very favorites!
