I haven't made it yet, but just the thought of what it smells like while it's cooking is enough to give anyone a Zetithian-class orgasm!
What's better than Sex? Crockpot Apple Pie!
| 8 apples peeled and sliced (I recommend these for best taste and crispness: Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Jonathan, Jonagold, Winesap or Pippin) Apple pie spice: 1 ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon allspice, and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ¾ cup whole milk 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened ¾ cup white sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste 1 ½ cups Bisquick, divided 1/3 cup dark brown sugar 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold cooking spray 1. Lightly spray bottom and sides with slow cooker. Toss apples in a large mixing bowl with Apple Pie Spice. Gently spoon apple mixture into slow cooker. 2. In a medium mixing bowl combine milk, softened butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and ½ cup of the Bisquick. Spoon over apples. 3. Combine the remaining Bisquick with the brown sugar. Cut cold butter into Bisquick mixture with a pastry cutter until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture on top. 4. Cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours or until apples are soft. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or whipped topping. Serves 8 |
