Slow Cooker Apple Granola Crumble is easy, delicious and healthy! Dang! A tripleheader. It is a dump and go recipe that is good as dessert and at breakfast too.

Slow Cooker Apple Granola Crumble is set on a blue check dish towel with scattered green apples in the background.
 


How about this for a simple fun treat that gets thrown together in actual minutes? I seriously don’t think it even takes 15 minutes.

It takes a little time to peel the apples but you should see me rip through a bushel. I’m kind of proud of that. Naturally, it centers around food.

I think that happened because I really really love apples. How versatile can one fruit get!

You only cook this recipe for 4 to 6 hours on low. How fun is it to make a breakfast in a crock pot and have it steaming hot and ready to go with little effort?

Speaking of apples and slow cookers and delicious food- I have another recipe you should try too. It is Slow Cooker Apple Pie Cake. This one is for dessert though. Here’s a picture!

Slow Cooker Apple Pie Cake is the easy and fast to prepare.
You don’t slice it but it all starts with a cake mix. Yikes, yikes. Get back on track Ginny!

This is a sweetish crockpot recipe but the sweetener is maple syrup. That makes me feel a lot better about sweet recipes when maple syrup is used instead of refined sugars.

In fact, do you know who Dr. Axe is? If not he is an extremely popular doctor with a huge following on the internet.

Well, he chose this recipe to feature in one of his columns about crockpot breakfasts. That made me feel great.

So that means this Slow Cooker Apple Granola Crumble is out there and getting kudos. I will also tell you that I would not scoff at you if you had it for dessert either. Then you’d be just like me!

Ingredients

  • 2 Granny Smith apples
  • 1 cup granola your favorite cereal, I mixed 1/2 cup granola and 1/2 cup bran flakes
  • 1/8 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup apple juice
  • 2 tablespoon dairy free butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Peel, core and cut the apples into thick slices and then chunks. This is what I did. Cut the apple in half - then half again and then those halves in half. This gives you 8 thick slices. Cut those thick slices in chunks - like about 3 per slice.
  • Add everything to the crock pot and stir well.
  • Cover and cook on low 4 hours.

    Oh boy, that sounds like a great warming comforting treat, a big dollop of custard and I would be well away!

    This sounds fabulous. Pinning and hoping to try it soon!

    I love making apple crumble and I am going to love making this in the slow cooker!

  4. Jacque says

    I will be pinning this for later. Thanks for sharing!

    I love how simple is this recipe. i will be making it soon for my family!

  6. Ginny McMeans says

    October 23, 2017 at 5:33 pm

    It makes 3 cups Hannah so I would say 2 servings of 1 1/2 cups each.

  7. Hannah says

    October 23, 2017 at 2:09 pm

    How many servings does this make?

  8. Ginny McMeans says

    Vegan margarine is great Kat!

  9. Kat says

    October 1, 2017 at 5:51 pm

    I have vegan Margarine is that okay to use or does it have to be butter? 🙂

    Thanks!

    You are very welcome Trudy and thanks for letting me know 🙂

    I have cooked this for my family twice now and everyone loves it! I double everything and substitute a couple things (use reg. butter & wasn’t sure about the granola ratio but I use 2 C…of whatever I have).
    Magically deliscious & healthy.
    This recipe is a keeper
    Just HAD to thank you!

  12. Ginny McMeans says

    November 30, 2016 at 1:11 pm

    No, not at all Sonia. That will work great!

  13. Sonia Eggleston says

    November 30, 2016 at 11:53 am

    I usually use a plastic crock liner…any reason for a foil liner instead?

  14. Ginny McMeans says

    November 30, 2016 at 8:05 am

    Yes you can do it in larger quantities Sonia. Double or triple. Just don’t forget to se a foil liner. A wider crockpot than just a 3 qt. slow cooker should be used though. A large round one or an oval.

  15. Sonia Eggleston says

    November 30, 2016 at 6:44 am

    I need to feed a crowd, and 3 cups won’t do it – have you made this in larger amounts, and if so, any adjustments in ingredients and / or time in the crock?

  16. Ginny McMeans says

    November 22, 2016 at 1:13 pm

    Yes, you sure can Pamela.

  17. Pamela says

    November 22, 2016 at 10:04 am

    Could you use apple cider instead of apple juice?

  18. Ginny McMeans says

    September 15, 2016 at 5:45 pm

    Coconut Oil would work great Carol.

  19. CAROL CERWINSKY says

    September 15, 2016 at 2:13 pm

    what can you use in place of vegan buttter

  20. Ginny McMeans says

    June 11, 2016 at 10:22 pm

    Hi Priscilla. I have not tried this but I believe you could actually use water. It won’t be quite as strong as an apple flavor but I still think it would taste really good.

  21. Priscilla says

    June 9, 2016 at 10:40 am

    I was wondering if there is something I can use instead of apple juice? Apple juice is not something I ever have on hand, don’t want to buy a bottle and waste it 🙁 TIA

  22. Amy Kuystermans says

    March 21, 2016 at 8:28 am

    Has anyone tried adding frozen fruit instead of the apples?

  23. Ginny McMeans says

    February 8, 2016 at 4:33 pm

    That just might work Chantal but you would have to cook steel oats longer. I havn’t tried it so I am not sure how well the apples will hold up over a longer time. Here is another recipe that I have on the blog. http://veganinthefreezer.com/slow-cooker-irish-oatmeal/

  24. Chantal says

    February 8, 2016 at 4:12 pm

    For the cup of granola cereal, would steel cut oats work okay? 😮

  25. Ginny McMeans says

    January 14, 2016 at 9:13 pm

    Wow! Love your adventures in cooking. You have done more with this recipe than I have. Thanks so much for all of the information. 🙂

  26. Jan-Marie says

    January 14, 2016 at 8:34 pm

    I make this recipe often and have doubled and even tripled it. It works fine. I’ve even made it and baked it in the oven. I’m making it again for a breakfast tomorrow but just realized my Instant Pot can’t do the delay function on slow cook, so I will do both slow cook and bake.

  27. Violinbabe says

    December 17, 2015 at 9:06 am

    Lisa, how did this work for you? I am thinking of doing this for a larger group, too. Any tips?

    Thanks!

  28. Ginny McMeans says

    November 3, 2015 at 10:22 pm

    No problem at all. Multiply and serve it up. 🙂 I would stir at the center sides (where it could be sticking) at about 2 hours and maybe even 3 hours to make sure it isn’t burning at the center hottest spot of the slow cooker.

  29. Lisa Zdunski says

    November 3, 2015 at 4:33 pm

    Have you ever made this on a larger scale for a group? Not really any reason I couldn’t just multiply?

  30. Ginny McMeans says

    September 2, 2015 at 4:56 pm

    Sorry Theresa – it is 4 to 6 hours. It will not hurt it to go 8 but you would need to stir it around the middle edge to keep it from burning.

  31. Theresa says

    September 2, 2015 at 2:57 pm

    Hello,
    I’m just trying this recipe right now. In one spot it says to cook on low for 6-8 hours but in another it says 4. Which should I do? Thank you!

  32. Dynamite says

    August 31, 2015 at 5:36 pm

    This sounds great, I am anxious to make it tomorrow as soon as I get me some apples

  33. Ginny McMeans says

    July 27, 2015 at 11:19 pm

    Thanks so much Bonnie! I do not know any of the calories of my recipes. I have searched a couple of different calorie counter apps but I wasn’t sure they were accurate. I’ll have to give it a try again. I hope your family and daughter Loovvvees this recipes.

  34. Bonnie Anglin says

    July 27, 2015 at 7:28 pm

    This looks so good. Do you know how many calories? This will be my first attempt at cooking vegan. I am trying to ween my family into the idea, especially my daughter.

  35. Ginny McMeans says

    October 19, 2014 at 12:40 pm

    Oh, boy!

  36. Heathur says

    October 19, 2014 at 12:37 pm

    Making this now!!! 🙂

  37. Ginny McMeans says

    October 6, 2014 at 11:51 am

    Yes, you can double it up. Stir/fold, lightly, around the edges to keep it from burning. Maybe check it at 2 hours and 3 hours. It all depends on your slow cooker.

  38. Belle Ogborn says

    October 6, 2014 at 4:25 am

    This is amazing recipe , it must be good, yummy and healthy ! Love to try it for my son’s birthday coming up soon ! Can i double the ingredients for a big family ? Thank you !

  39. Ginny McMeans says

    July 2, 2014 at 3:58 pm

    That is great Aimee and it will perfect with non-dairy ice cream. I used the small cooker. I think it is a 2 qt. or 2-1/2 qt. size. 2 qts. will be plenty big enough.

  40. Aimee B. says

    July 2, 2014 at 12:20 pm

    This looks amazing! I’m planning on making it for the 4th and serving with a scoop of vanilla soy ice cream. What size slow cooker did you use for this? I’m thinking I may use my smaller one. Thanks for the great recipe!

  41. Ginny McMeans says

    June 20, 2014 at 11:56 pm

    Yes, you can substitute honey or any one of the new agave syrups.

  42. Tracy Piedmont says

    June 20, 2014 at 10:51 pm

    This looks wonderful! But could you substitute something else for the maple syrup? I’m not a big fan of the maple syrup taste. Can’t wait to try it if I can make that substitution. Thanks!!!

  43. Marly says

    April 25, 2014 at 2:12 pm

    This is one of those recipes you could eat any time of day. Love it!

  44. Lora @cakeduchess says

    Apple desserts are my total weakness!! Love your apple crumble…I bet the house smelled incredible while it was baking:))

    April 23, 2014 at 3:10 pm

    We’re getting a new crock pot soon and I’m collecting recipes. It hasn’t even occurred to me to make breakfast in it! Genius! I’ll bookmark this recipe 🙂

  46. Nutmeg Nanny says

    April 23, 2014 at 12:12 pm

    I guess I should add that I would eat it for breakfast…and dessert….haha 🙂
