Can I use any variety of apples to make this apple crisp?

You can. Granny smith just happens to work really well because they are tart and have a “bite” to their flavor. But, if you have other apples just sitting around, use them! The sweeter the apple, the sweeter the outcome so just remember that as you’re making it.

How do you store leftover apple crisp?

It’s simple to store leftovers! Simply put them in an airtight container and place them in the fridge. Then, when you’re ready to eat, all you have to do is take out and reheat in the microwave.

You can also freeze this once it’s cooked if you want. Just know that the texture might be a bit different once it’s unthawed but the taste and flavor will be the same.

Apple crisps are always a good dessert choice, but when you add the slow cooker into the equation, it’s quite possible the best dessert choice you will ever make.

It’s everything you could ever ask for in a dessert. The caramel and brown sugar provide a sweet taste, the cinnamon gives a welcoming smell, and the warmth of the crisp makes it a comforting food. In other words, nothing brings the spirit of fall quite like an apple crisp.
