Apple-Pecan Crisp

Prep: 15 min., Cook: 3 hrs. Be sure to check your apples at 2 hours, as overcooking may make them mushy.

Ingredients

• 5  large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• 2  tablespoons  lemon juice
• 3/4  cup  all-purpose flour

• 1  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
• 1/8  teaspoon  salt

Preparation

Place apples in a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker; drizzle with lemon juice, and toss to coat.
