Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• ½ cup butter, cut into pieces

• ⅓ cup white sugar, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix flour, brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Combine butter with the flour mixture using fingers or a fork until coarse crumbs form. Stir in walnuts and set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Place the apples in a slow cooker, stir in the cornstarch mixture; toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle the walnut crumb topping on top. Cover and cook on High for 2 hours or Low for 4 hours, until apples are tender. Partially uncover the slow cooker to allow the topping to harden, about 1 hour.
