¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Set the butter out on the counter to soften a bit while prepping the apples.
Peel, core, & cut the apple into medium-sized chunks - about 1.5 inches in size. If they are too small they will become mushy.

6 cups apples, ¼ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, ½ teaspooon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ginger
In a mixing bowl, add the topping ingredients. Use your hands to distribute the butter throughout the dry ingredients. Mix until the butter is small like pea-sized pieces.
add optional nuts here if using
1.5 cups all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup sugar, ⅓ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ cup salted butter
Pour the topping mix over the apples in the slow cooker. Put the lid on and set the timer for 3 hours on low.
Turn off and take off the lid. Let the cobbler topping cool & set for 30-40 minutes.
Once the topping is firm & the apples have cooled off, scoop into individual bowls to enjoy. Top with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Notes

STORING & REHEATING:

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.

TOP TIPS:

Make sure the apple chunks are uniform in size & do not make them smaller or bigger than the directions (so they are tender but not overcooked/mushy)
Do not skip the cooling step for the topping to set.
