Ingredients
Scale
1 package (17.3 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
Unroll both refrigerated pie crusts. Cut one crust into 1-inch squares. Place these squares in an even layer across the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon-sugar mixture over the crust layer in the slow cooker.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the crust and cinnamon-sugar layer.
Spoon the apple pie filling over the buttered crust layer. Do not stir.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. This is your cobbler batter.
Gently pour the batter over the apple pie filling layer. Do not stir.
Cut the remaining pie crust into small pieces (about 1 inch) and drop them randomly over the top of the batter.
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top pieces of crust.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours. The cobbler is done when the topping is set and lightly golden.
Let the dessert cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.
Notes
For a classic presentation, serve each portion with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
If you want a richer cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon in the topping mixture to 1.5 tablespoons.
This is a great make ahead slow cooker sweets option; you can assemble everything except the butter and bake it the next day.
