Slow-cooker Vegan apple crisp

Slow cooker Apple crisp - gluten-free 

For the apple mixture:

8 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch thick slices

½ cup packed light brown sugar

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

¼ teaspoon salt

For the crisp topping:

1 cup gluten-free oats

¾ cup almond flour

¼ cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup cold unsalted flora butter, cut into cubes

Ice cream, for serving (optional)

The How to bit 

1. Make the apple mixture: Place sliced apples in the slow cooker. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir. (Be sure to use a non-metal spoon so as not to scratch your slow cooker insert.) Let sit while you prepare the crisp topping.

2. Make the crisp topping: Combine oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Stir until well combined. Using your fingertips, work the butter into the oat mixture until the mixture starts to clump together.

3. Stir the apple mixture one more time and then spread the apples out into an even layer. Sprinkle the crisp topping over the top 

4. Cook the apple crisp: Cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 3-3½ hours, until apples, are soft. Turn off heat and let stand for at least 30 minutes and up to 1-hour before serving (keeping the lid on). 

Tip: Put a Paper towel over the top of the slow cooker -under the lid and it will make it even crisper
