By The recipe Saturday was slow-cooker apple cobbler. Sliced apples in the slow cooker with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon, topped with a biscuit-batter dollop, cooked on low for three hours. The slow cooker keeps the kitchen cool and produces a cobbler that is steamy and tender.
The recipe is below.
Slow-Cooker Apple Cobbler
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 3 hours | Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes | Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 5 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 cups; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or spice cake mix, dry
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into thin slices
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the apples. Peel, core, and slice the apples and place them in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Toss with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Add the topping. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the apple layer. Do not stir—keep the layers separate.
- Add the butter. Lay the thin butter slices in a single layer over the top of the dry cake mix, covering as much surface area as possible.
- Cook. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, or until the topping is set and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.
- Serve. Scoop into bowls and serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
