Crock-Pot Apple Crumble


This is a recipe I have adapted over time and it is sooooo easy...


Ingredients

6 apples
1/2 cup brown sugar (or suger substitute)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1.5 cups bread crumbs and 1 slice small torn rye or whole wheat bread pieces (if you have some to use up)
2 tablespoons melted butter (or canola oil)
1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
zest from one lemon and from one lime
juice from one lemon


Core the apples and chop into pieces (about 1/2 inch in size), place in a large bowl.
Add the sugar, cranberries and the lemon and lime zest and lemon juice to the apples bowl.

In another bowl combine the bread crumbs and bread pieces with the melted butter.

Spray the crock pot (works best in the smaller crock pot as in photo) with cooking spray and put one third of the bread crumb mixture on the bottom, layer one half of the apple mixture, then the next third of the crumb , then the final half of the apple mixture and cover with the last of the crumbs. Pour the orange juice and cranberry juice over the top and cook on high for three hours. Watch the mixture so it doesn't over cook and burn on the sides (turn to low if it looks like that is happening).


If you only have orange juice or cranberry juice and not both one or the other will do but must add to 1 cup.


Serve with low fat ice cream and enjoy!
