Crock Pot Apple Crisp

There are two desserts that I love to order at restaurants. Either brownie a'la mode or apple crisp a'la mode. I have made brownies several times but I have never attempted apple crisp. I heard about a great recipe on allrecipes.com and figured I'd give it a try. I did alter it slightly so if you want to see the original recipe feel free to visit their site.

Ingredients:
(makes 6 servings)

8 medium apples (I used granny smith and gala); peeled, cored and chopped
1 lemon (or 2 tbsp lemon juice)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Topping:
1/2 cup of butter; cut into pieces
1 cup flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt

Directions:
1. After you prepared your apples place them into the crock pot.
2. In a separate bowl combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon.  
3. Add the combination into the crock pot with the apples. Juice your lemon over the apples and stir.

4. Now to the topping. Combine the flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and pieces of butter into a bowl.  
    Mix with hands or a fork until a crumbly topping forms.

5. Sprinkle the crumb topping on top of the apples.

6. Set crock pot on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
7. Take off lid and let cook on high for 1 more hour so that the topping hardens.
8. Serve with ice cream!!





I must say, it was just as good as the restaurants and much much much cheaper!
