Slow Cooker Autumn’s Best Apple Crisp

This Slow Cooker Autumn’s Best Apple Crisp is one of my husband’s all time favorite desserts. I first saw this recipe floating around the internet about six years ago and so many people were claiming it as their own. I wish I knew who to thank for the original, but, I do not.

Because my husband was not able to eat nuts, I made some changes and then enhanced the recipe to our liking. I wanted a crunch on the top, so instead of nuts, I use Grapenut Cereal Nuggets. It gives nice texture to the dessert, while at the same time, adding some fiber.
