Ingredients
Method
- Core and slice the apples, then toss with brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Transfer to a greased slow cooker.
- Whisk flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then stir in milk and vanilla just until a shaggy dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the apples, cover, and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours. Uncover for the last 30 minutes to crisp the top.
- Scoop into bowls while hot and serve, with vanilla ice cream if you like.
Notes
Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. If cooking on low, the time increases to 4 to 5 hours. Uncovering at the end helps the topping firm up; for an extra-crisp top, broil briefly in a broiler-safe insert right before serving.
