Crock Pot Apple Crisp

I made this when my parents and brother came to town to visit me and see my new apartment. It was a good visit and nice to finally be able to show them a put together, homey looking apartment.

The apple crisp was really easy, tasty and made my apartment smell really good. The only thing I changed was using pecans instead of walnuts. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Gala apples just to mix up the flavors a little bit.

I got the recipe from crockingirls.com Here is the recipe anyways:

Apple Crisp

• 1 c. All-purpose flour
• 1/2 c. Brown sugar
• 1 c. White sugar
• 1 t. Ground cinnamon
• 1/4 t. Ground nutmeg
• 1 Pinch of salt
• 1 Stick butter, softened 
• 1 c. Chopped pecans
• 1 T. Cornstarch
• 1/2 t. Ground ginger
• 6 c. Apple cored, chopped (peeled optional) (about 7 apples)
• 2 T. lemon juice

Mix flour, brown sugar, ½ c. of white sugar, ½ t. cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Combine butter in with the mixture using a fork or your fingers until coarse crumbs form. Stir in pecans and set aside. Whisk together 1/2 c. sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and ½ t. cinnamon. Place the apples in the bottom of the crock pot, then stir in the cornstarch mixture; toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle the remaining ingredients on top of apples. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 4, until apples are tender. After cooking is complete remove lid so topping can harden, about an hour. Serve with vanilla ice cream of course!
