I love going out apple picking at this time of year. It’s always a fun activity to do with the boys {places that they are free to run around are always high on my list!} and we love to try all of the different varieties of apples. Our local apple farm also happens to have amazing apple cider slushies that are one of my fall favorites! We have already been out to Willow View Farm a couple of times this year and have come back with a good apple stash each time.
So what to do with all of those apples?
Apples happen to be both of the boys’ favorite fruit so they go quite quickly around here. We had a few apple tasting sessions with the different varieties of apples and made up a few more of these apple frogs. {although our recent frogs have turned more red!}
But my favorite thing to do with apples is make apple crisp!

It may be not as “crisp” as the apple crisp that I usually make in the oven but it is oh so good!! I would say it’s kind of a mix between homemade apple sauce and the traditional apple crisp. We actually made up two batches this past weekend!
And now my slow cooker can go back in the garage….
yum! this looks delicious and so easy.
I must be really hungry right now, because I’ve just pinned about 5 different recipes in the past 5 minutes! lol! Your apple crisp sounds sooooo good – and easy! I use my slow cooker all the time for roasts and soups. It’s my fav way to whip up an impressive dinner. lol! So thanks for another great recipe I can use! 🙂
