- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c. light brown sugar
- 1/2 c. white sugar
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 c. butter, cut into pieces
- 1 c. chopped walnuts
-
- 1/3 c. white sugar, or to taste
- 1 T. cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 6 c. apples - peeled, cored and chopped
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
1. Mix flour, brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl.
2. Combine butter with the flour mixture using fingers or a fork until coarse crumbs form. Stir in walnuts and set aside.
3. Whisk together 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
4. Place the apples in a crock pot, stir in the cornstarch mixture; toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle the walnut crumb topping on top.
5. Cover. Cook on High for 2 hours or Low for 4 hours, until apples are tender. Partially uncover the crock pot to allow the topping to harden, about 1 hour.
6. Serve with vanilla ice cream or as our family likes it drenched in cream or milk for breakfast.
Happy Crocking!
