Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and slice about 6 Granny Smith apples to yield approximately 6 cups. Place in the slow cooker with lemon juice, cinnamon, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until coated.
  2. Make Topping: In a bowl, combine oats, gluten-free flour, baking powder, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Assemble: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the slow cooker. Press down slightly to ensure adherence.
  4. Cook: Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. After 2 hours, peel back the lid slightly to let steam escape and cook for an additional hour.
  5. Serve: Remove the lid and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream.
