Crockpot Apple Pie Stew – Easy Slow Cooker Apple Dessert Recipe

If you love Apple Recipes Easy, you have to try this. It’s kinda like a mash-up of Baked Apples Crockpot Easy Recipes and Crockpot Fried Apples Slow Cooker Style, but even better because it’s got that thick, caramel-y sauce that makes you wanna lick the spoon. It’s perfect if you’re craving Crockpot Baked Apples, need an easy Crockpot Dessert Recipe, or just wanna make some Slow Cooked Apples without standing over the stove. Plus, this is one of those Crock Pot Cooking wins where you just dump everything in, walk away, and come back to a house that smells like a bakery.

So if you’re looking for Crock Pot Desserts, Fruit Recipes, or just a fun new way to make Crockpot Apples, this one’s a must-try. Whether you eat it straight from the bowl, pour it over pancakes, or go all out and top it with ice cream (my fav way, tbh), it’s so good. Let’s get cooking!

What You Need

• 6 big apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (I like to use Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon allspice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (this helps thicken it up)
• 1 cup apple cider or water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

I always keep these ingredients around because they make my house smell like a bakery!

How to Make It: Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Apples

Peel, core, and chop the apples into bite-size pieces. I usually get my kids to help out sometimes – it makes it more fun and they learn about cooking too. Sometimes they make a mess, but that’s ok.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In your crockpot, add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, lemon juice, apple cider (or water), and a pinch of salt. Stir it all together really good. (Don’t add the cornstarch mixture or vanilla yet!)

Step 3: Slow Cook the Stew

Cover your crockpot and cook on LOW for about 4-5 hours. When you’re done, the apples should be super soft and the whole thing will smell amazing. Sometimes I peek in to see if it looks ready and I get so excited.

Step 4: Thicken the Stew

After 4-5 hours, mix the cornstarch and water if you haven’t done that already. Stir it into the crockpot and let it cook for another 20-30 minutes. This makes the stew a little thicker and more like a real apple pie filling.

Step 5: Add the Vanilla

Now, stir in the vanilla extract. This is the last step and it really brings the whole flavor together. I sometimes forget and add it too soon, but I learned my lesson.

How to Enjoy It

I like to serve my Crockpot Apple Pie Stew warm. You can eat it all by itself or put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. My kids sometimes like it over pancakes for breakfast! It’s just so fun and different, and it reminds me of home and those cozy days when we all sit together after school.

Storing & Reheating

If you have leftovers (which is rare, cause it’s so yummy!), store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you wanna eat it again, just warm it up on the stove or in the microwave. You can even freeze some for another day when you’re super busy.
