Slow Cooker Strawberry Apple Crumble
There is nothing better than fresh strawberries in the summer. Their sweet flavor just screams summer to me more than any other fruit. So when I picked up some fresh strawberries from the farmer’s market this week I knew they would be perfect in a slow cooker dessert.
At first I thought I would make just a strawberry crumble in my slow cooker. But when I tried it with just strawberries the finished fruit part ended up tasting too much like strawberry jam.
So back to the kitchen for more testing.
The second go-around I decided to add some apples with the strawberries to add some nice texture. And, because I used Granny Smith apples they also added some tartness which was PERFECT.
I decided to call this recipe a “crumble” because the topping isn’t going to 100% cover your fruit and it isn’t completely crispy. But it is still oh so good!
For serving I just whipped up some fresh heavy whipping cream and spooned a dollop on each serving before handing out plates to my family.
They ate it up and loved it.
I hope your family does too!
