My Beautiful Crockette

First day out, I invented a new recipe for my crockette which is delicious: Apple Crisp. Not exactly fruit cobbler or pie or an Apple Brown Betty, this is a crockpot version of the baked oven apple-and-oatmeal combo we've been making for years.

Apple Crisp for the Crockette

2-3 small apples, peeled and sliced

6 tablespoons butter, melted plus 1 tablespoon butter, unmelted

3/4 cup oatmeal (I am using up my awful quick-cooking oats)

2-3 tablespoons brown sugar

nutmeg and cinnamon to taste

nuts, dried fruit such as craisins or raisins, optional (I'd only add about 1/4 cup or so)

Rub inside of small slow cooker (Crockette) with 1 tablespoon unmelted butter.

Mix melted butter, oatmeal, brown sugar, and spices. Layer alternately with sliced apples and any nuts or dried fruit.

Cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 3 hours.

Serve warm with cream, ice cream, whatever you like.
