Crock Pot Apple Crisp

Hello Thanksgiving week!

And hello perfect Thanksgiving dessert!

I'm not a big 'fruit in dessert' fan  As a matter of fact I can't think of one dessert I like that has fruit in it. Except this one, and even then I was a little weirded out by the apple pieces. 

I know, I am strange.

 But, this apple crisp is delicious, it has the perfect touch of fall spices and sweetness!

I wouldn't exactly call this recipe easy because you have to peel, core, and chop apples. Once that's done, the recipe is easy.

What you need:

Walnut mixture:

1 Cup Flour

1/2 Cup Light Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1/4 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

1 Pinch of Salt

 1/2 Cup Butter, cut into pieces

1 Cup Chopped Walnuts

Constarch mixture:

1/3 Cup Sugar, or to taste

1 Tablespoon Cornstarch

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

6 Apples, cored, peeled, and chopped

2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

What to do:

1. Mix flour, brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl. Combine butter with this mixture using hands or a fork until crumbs form. Mix in walnuts and set aside.

2. Whisk together 1/3 cup of sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in small bowl.

3. Place the apples into the crock pot and stir in the cornstarch mixture, toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle the walnut topping on top.

4. Cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 4 hours, until the apples are tender. Once tender, partially uncover the crock pot for 1 hour to allow the top to get crispy.

Oh, I guess I should add vanilla ice cream to the ingredients list, it makes it so much more delicious!
