Ingredients

8apples,peeled, cored and thinly-sliced

1tbsplemon juice

⅓cuppacked brown sugar

2tspMcCormick ground cinnamon

pinch of salt

vanilla ice cream, warm caramel sauce,optional serving suggestions

1cupold-fashioned oats,uncooked

⅔cupsliced almonds

½cupall-purpose flour

⅓cuppacked brown sugar

1tspground cinnamon

pinch of salt

4tbspmelted butter,or coconut oil

Preparation

Add apples and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl, and toss to combine. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt evenly on top, and toss until completely combined.

Pour the entire mixture into the bowl of a large slow cooker, and spread everything out so that it is in an even layer.

Prepare the cinnamon oat crumble (see below), and sprinkle it evenly on top of the apple mixture.

Place a dish towel or a few paper towels on top of the slow cooker, and place the lid on top of the towel(s). The towels will help soak up the condensation that forms along the top of the lid, and keep that oat crumble nice and crisp.

Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low for 6 to 8 hours until the apples are soft and cooked through. Remove the lid and the towel(s), and serve the apple crisp immediately.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, almonds, flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt until evenly combined.

Drizzle the melted butter (or coconut oil) over the mixture, and then whisk until combined.
