Praline Apple Crisp

Slow-Cooked Praline Apple Crisp

 

There are two aspects of cooking I desire, one is a simple, fast, easy recipe, and two, it must taste fabulous. This is where my slow cooker comes to play.  I look for recipes online that marries the two together, the convenience plus a recipe that is awesome. I ran across this recipe from Pillsbury and it met all my expectations.  Apples are in season so that makes this a winner.  Try it, you will love it.

 

The cinnamon-rich flavors of old-fashioned apple crisp meet the convenience of a slow cooker.

1/3         cup packed brown sugar

¼            cup all-purpose flour
