Alright friends. There is nothing sexy about the way this looks. In fact, I think it looks the opposite of sexy.

I didn’t have any ice cream or whipped cream to garnish this with…so I’m left with un-sexy looking apple crisp.

But let me talk to you a minute about the taste. The taste is uber sexy. I think it’s the way the the slow cooker cooks the apples, and how the spices are infused into the apples. And how the crisp on top is perfectly crispy, with just the right amount of softness under the top layer.

Sexy y’all.

You’re just going to have to trust me. And I’m going to have a small little tub of ice cream in the back of the freezer…so I can garnish any and all future un-sexy slow cooker desserts. But I’m afraid that I’ll just eat it all…so then I’m stuck again with un-sexy slow cooker desserts.

Ok…enough of what could be an endless cycle of sexy-unsexy. And onto the recipe.

    Could I substitute pears in this recipe?

      Christy – you could definitely try, but pears don’t hold up in structure near as well as apples do, so it would be a texture preference if you like it or not! Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
