 Ingredients
 Original recipe makes 6 servings

  •  1 cup all-purpose flour 
  •  1/2 cup light brown sugar 
  •  1/2 cup white sugar 
  •  1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  •  1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
  •  1 pinch salt 
  •  1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces 
  •  1 cup chopped walnuts
  •  1/3 cup white sugar, or to taste
  •  1 tablespoon cornstarch 
  •  1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  •  1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  •  6 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped
  •  2 tablespoons lemon juice 

Directions 

  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. 
  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.
