With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this dessert in no time.

Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and you have a dessert that’s as comforting as it is delicious.

Ingredients:

For the apple filling:

  • 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

For the topping:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (or spice cake mix for added flavor)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Grease the inside of your crockpot with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Make the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Place the apple mixture into the bottom of the crockpot. Dot the apples with the small pieces of butter for extra richness.
  4. Add the Topping: Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the apples. Pour the melted butter over the cake mix, trying to cover as much of the mix as possible. If using, sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added crunch.
  5. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and set. The time may vary depending on your crockpot, so check the cobbler around the 3-hour mark.
  6. Serve: Once done, scoop the cobbler into bowls and serve warm. It’s perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes:

  • This apple cobbler recipe serves 6-8 people, making it a great dessert for gatherings or family dinners.
  • For a twist, you can swap out the yellow cake mix for spice cake mix, adding an extra layer of flavor to the cobbler.
  • Be sure to use firm apples like Granny Smith to hold up well during cooking.
