It is October and boy am I excited about that fact. I definitely love the summer, but I am ready for cooler days and a change of season. I’ve been putting my crock pot to good use these past few weeks, breaking out some of my favorite soups and chilis but it was definitely time for a treat.

Apple crisp is the perfect treat for the non-baker and this recipe utilizes the slow cooker so it could not be any easier. Just mix everything together and you’re done! It is the perfect recipe for a fall party, potluck or tailgate party. Personally, I tried it out on some friends at a girl’s night get-together and it was a big hit.
