In the crock, combine the apples, ⅓ cup brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and stir to combine. Allow to sit and marinate while you prepare the crumb topping.
Combine flour, salt, oats, ginger snaps, remaining brown sugar and cinnamon, and walnuts in a large bowl. Using your fingers, cut the butter into the flour topping until it is a crumbly consistency.
Pour the gingerbread topping over the apples and spread evenly.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or high for 2 hours, or until apples are soft.
Remove lid and allow crumble to sit for 30-60 minutes before serving, letting the apple juices thicken. Serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream and enjoy!
