Dessert for breakfast? Yes, please! This slow-cooker apple cobbler does double duty, functioning as either a sweet breakfast treat or a low-fuss version of a family-favorite dessert. Most cobblers, crisps, crumbles and buckles<\/a> traditionally bake in the oven, but this version is made entirely in the slow cooker. Like other slow-cooker desserts<\/a>, all you need to do is arrange everything in your slow cooker, cover and cook on low.<\/p>\n Slow-cooker apple cobbler has become our go-to make-ahead breakfast<\/a> for holiday mornings. Assemble it the night before, and then let it cook while you dream. There’s nothing like waking up to the intoxicating smell of cinnamon-spiced apples in the morning. It’s also a fantastic recipe to let cook while you’re at the office all day. We promise your case of the Mondays will vanish immediately upon arriving home to this delightful apple treat.<\/p>\n Place the sliced apples in a greased 3-quart slow cooker. Next, in a microwave, melt the butter and stir in the honey and cinnamon. Drizzle the mixture over the apples.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0For even cooking and texture, do your best to slice the apples into pieces of equal size and thickness.<\/p>\n Then, top the apples with the cranberries and granola.<\/p>\n Cook, covered, on low for six to eight hours, until the apples are tender. Serve the cobbler warm, topped with milk and maple syrup if desired.<\/p>\n Prepared slow-cooker apple cobbler is best enjoyed within three days when refrigerated in an airtight food storage container. Reheat it in the microwave until warmed through. You can also enjoy it cold, straight from the fridge.<\/p>\n Yes! You can freeze slow-cooker apple cobbler for up to three months when it is stored in an airtight freezer container. Let it defrost overnight in the fridge and then reheat as directed above.<\/p>\n The best apples for apple cobbler are the same as the best apples for apple pie<\/a>. Choose those that hold their shape after cooking. Granny Smith, Fuji, Braeburn and Courtland are just a few of our favorites. Do not attempt to make this easy apple cobbler with Red Delicious, as they will break down too much in the slow cooker and result in something akin to slow-cooked applesauce<\/a> rather than apple cobbler.<\/p>\n For breakfast, this slow-cooker apple cobbler is perfect with milk or a spoonful of vanilla Greek yogurt. A drizzle of maple syrup or honey adds extra sweetness, and a sprinkling of cinnamon praline nuts<\/a> or chopped pecans offers some lovely crunch. If you are having this cobbler for dessert, you can never go wrong with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a mound of sweetened whipped cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Make slow-cooker apple cobbler for a warm dessert or a special sweet treat for
