Easy apple crisp in the slow cooker is a dream come true for lazy bake

The ultimate easy dessert that’s made in the slow cooker and practically melts in your mouth.

There’s something about the taste of warm apples with cinnamon that reminds me of comfort food. And even more so when topped with vanilla ice cream.

I especially like this dessert when that ice cream starts to melt on top.

It’s so easy to make too. Just put all the ingredients in the slow cooker, and be off on your merry way.

Then load up the serving plates, top with ice cream, and dig in. Count me in on this yummy dessert.
