Slow-Cooked Praline Apple Crisp

By á-10847

The cinnamon-rich flavors of old-fashioned apple crisp meet the convenience of a slow cooker. I have made this several times because it is SOOOO easy & quick and tastes like you spent hours baking. It's an awesome comfort food dessert and great for potlucks too! I have also added fresh cranberries to change it up a little. You could make this with almost anything...peaches, blackberries, mixed berries...just like a cobbler

Ingredients

• 6 medium-size crisp tart apples
• (Granny Smith or Braeburn),
• peeled if desired, cut into 1/2-inch-
• thick slices (about 6 cups)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• (or more to preference)
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (or more
• to preference)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small
• pieces
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup toffee bits
• Ice cream, if desired
• NOTE:The size of apple slices is
• important. Soft apples and
• thin slices of apples will result
• in mushy apples.

Preparation

Step 1

If you'd like the apple slices to retain their shape and have a slightly firm texture, use the low end of the cook time range.

1
Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix apples and cinnamon to coat. Place in slow cooker.

2
In medium bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, flour and butter with pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Stir in pecans and toffee bits. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over apples.

3
Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours. Serve apple crisp with ice cream.
