Ingredients

Apple base:

• 8 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 1cm sized pieces
• ¼ cup caster sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Crumble topping:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• ⅔ cup desiccated coconut
• ⅔ cup raw sugar
• ⅔ cup plain flour
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 250g unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Prep the apples: In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine the sliced apples, caster sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well so the apples are evenly coated.
2. Make the crumble: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, coconut, raw sugar, flour and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until everything is coated and clumpy.
3. Assemble: Spoon the crumble mixture evenly over the apple mixture in the slow cooker.
4. Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5 hours, then remove the lid and cook for a further 30 minutes to allow the topping to crisp up slightly.
5. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips & Variations

• Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free plain flour and quinoa flakes instead of oats.
• No coconut? You can swap the coconut for extra oats or chopped walnuts for a nuttier crunch.
• Less sugar: Reduce the sugar in the crumble to ½ cup if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
• Make-ahead: Prep everything earlier in the day and start cooking 3 hours before dessert time.  Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the apples.
• Apple options: Granny Smiths are perfect for tart-sweet contrast, but Pink Lady will also work well.
