Start by peeling, coring, and slicing approximately six medium apples. Choose sweet varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to achieve the perfect balance of flavor. Once sliced, place the apples evenly in the bottom of your Crock Pot.

Drizzle about half a cup of caramel sauce generously over the sliced apples, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Sprinkle one box of yellow or spice cake mix evenly over the apples and caramel layer, covering all the apples fully.

Melt one stick (approximately ½ cup) of butter and drizzle it uniformly over the cake mix layer.

Cover the Crock Pot with its lid, placing one or two paper towels under the lid to absorb moisture. Cook on low for 3-4 hours until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

For an extra crispy topping, transfer your Crock Pot apple crisp to the oven under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
