Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium apples, cored and sliced
  • 2 medium pears, cored and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Add the sliced apples and pears to the slow cooker insert.
  • Sprinkle the granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice over the fruit. Stir until the slices are evenly coated.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly topping.
  • Scatter the oat topping evenly over the spiced fruit in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, until the fruit is soft and the topping has set.

Notes

For a slightly firmer topping, remove the lid for the final 30 minutes of cooking. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat well in the microwave or a low oven. If the fruit seems very juicy, a quick stir halfway through helps the topping stay drier.
