Apple Crisp in the Slow Cooker

By Addie

I’m on a roll with slow cooked desserts. This apple crisp is an adaptation of my Apple Crinkle.

I decided to give it a whirl in the slow cooker and it turned out beautifully. I dressed it up a bit with a handful of dried cranberries and chopped pecans. My mouth is watering as I write this post. I must make this again soon!

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar (dark brown is best)
• 1 cup quick oats
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 cup butter
• 3-4 cups peeled and sliced apples
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Stir the first 3 ingredients together. Cut the butter in with a pastry blender or fork to make soft crumbs.

Combine the apples, cranberries and pecans in a large bowl. Stir in half the crumbs, mixing to coat all the apples. Pour into greased crock of the slow cooker.

Stir water, sugar and cinnamon together. Pour over apples. Top with remaining crumbs.

Put the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours. Open and let rest a few minutes before serving. This will allow the extra liquid to thicken.
