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.

Sad day! I made this for my brother’s birthday today, and the cake mix is all goopy still… I tasted it, and it does taste good but just mushy. I cooked it on high for over three hours too. Now I’m sticking this in the oven in hopes that maybe some of the mix will harden. Crossing my fingers!
Followed recipe exactly and the top part of cake mix was raw and a doughy mess. Made this for Thanksgiving and was so disappointed with this recipe! Good thing I had pumpkin pie as a back up. Are you only supposed to use a cup of the cake mix or something?? Wont be trying again 🙁
My worst fears – that this recipe would make a goop of cake and not a crusty cake – were realized. That said, everyone liked it. I think it helped that they weren’t going into it expecting a true cobbler consistency. I used significantly more spices than was called for and accidentally put in too much nutmeg (thinking it was cinnamon) – this was a really good accident. I suspect I used 3 tsp of cinnamon and 3-4 tsp of nutmeg plus maybe a tsp or so of ground cloves. I also added about a 1/4 cup of whole milk because I was using a gluten free yellow cake mix and they do not include milk in the mix (regular gluten box cakes have nonfat milk in the mix). I let it go on high for about 3-4 hours so that the brown sugar caramelized – this also helped the flavor. Again, consistency was not great (cake-goopy is probably the right term), but the flavor was great!
This Awesome!
What size of a crockpot do you suggest? I will be making it for Celebrate Recovery so I need to double the receipe.
Made this for an end of year church meeting for a dessert, and was even asked for the recipe. Did not change a thing, and thought the cake mix, even with the melted butter on top, would still be dry, but no! There was no apple juice at the bottom, and it was perfect, and everyone was asking what the smell was, because it smelled so good! I said, I fixed dessert to celebrate the end of the year, and when the meeting was over, we could have some. Everyone enjoyed it, so thanks!
Turned out great! Easy, we used a spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix and it was amazing. Will be doing this again!
Tasteless glop. Cooked for three hours. Mixed butter and cake mix into a crumble. But this is a tasteless muck and waste of time and apples.
Right now at the moment I am making this recipe I only realized I forgot to put the cooking spray on the bottom :(. Will it burn???
Making this this weekend! But I’m a little confused, am I using nutmeg or allspice? You had mentioned nutmeg in your dessert into.
