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

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.  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

  1. 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.
  2. Add everything to the crock pot and stir well.
  3. Cover and cook on low 4 hours.

That is it! Ready to enjoy and it will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.

  11. 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!

  14. 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. 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?

  20. 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. 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

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

    Thanks!

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

  31. 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!

  33. 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. 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.

  37. 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. 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. 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. 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!

  42. 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!!!
