Apple Raisin Crumble

Ingredients

4 large Granny Smith apples, cored and cut in wedges 1/2 cup golden raisins 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons baking mix, divided 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 cup rolled or old-fashioned oats 1/2 cup chopped pecans Whipped cream for garnish

Directions

1. Place the apples and raisins in a lightly greased medium slow cooker. Sprinkle with the vanilla and dot with 2 tablespoons of the butter. 2. In a medium bowl stir together 2/3 cup of the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of the baking mix, and the cinnamon. Sprinkle over the apple mixture and toss gently to evenly coat. 3. In the same bowl combine the remaining 1/3 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of baking mix with the oats. With a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over the apple mixture and top with the pecans. 4. Fold a clean kitchen tea towel in half and lay over the top of the slow cooker, allowing the excess to hang over the outside. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Uncover and let stand for 15 minutes before serving warm with a garnish of whipped cream.
