Slow Cooked Apple Crumble step by step

Grease the liner of a 5 ltr slow cooker with butter..
In a large mixing bowl mix together all of the filling ingredients that you have chosen to go with, cover with cling film and refrigerate for an hour or two to allow the flavours to infuse..
Meanwhile, in another bowl, rub together by hand the sugar, flour and chilled butter until you have a breadcrumb like consistency..
Gently add in the rest of the ingredients taking care not to over work the mixture as you don't want it to stick together and form a dough. You may choose to hold back a little of the sugar to sprinkle over the top..
When ready, pour your filling mixture into your greased slow cooker liner and gently spoon over the crumble mixture. Sprinkle with any sugar you saved (or just add more if you like)..
Cover and cook on the lowest setting for around 4-4.5 hours..
For a crunchier topping you may transfer your slow cooker liner to an oven for the final 10 minutes of cook time. Preheat to around 180 degrees C for this..
Serve straight from the dish with your choice of cream, custard or ice cream..
Sit back, relax and enjoy..
