Slow Cooker Apple Crisp with Cake Mix image

We absolutely love this stuff. We love the way the sauce caramelizes around the edges. I am going to make a bunch of copies of this recipe so everyone who tries it will quit asking for it.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

⅔ cup white sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons apple pie spice, divided
12 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apples
¼ cup lemon juice
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and 2 teaspoons apple pie spice in a small bowl.
Place apples in a large slow cooker. Stir in spice mixture and toss with lemon juice.
Mix cake mix, brown sugar, and remaining apple pie spice together in a medium bowl. Stir in melted butter until thoroughly blended; mixture will be crumbly. Sprinkle over apples in the cooker.
Cover and cook until apples are tender, on Low for 4 hours or on High for 2 hours. Partially uncover the slow cooker and continue to cook until the topping has hardened, about 1 hour more.
