Glazed Apple Slices

I borrowed (ok, kinda stolen) this recipe from the Reynolds Slow Cooker recipe booklet that was in the liner box.
I made a few changes, but nothing that has an affect on the nutritional value. 
It heated up great the 2nd night without leaving ridiculous amounts of sticky yuck all over my small sauce pot.
Enjoy!!!!

Glazed Apple Slices

6       large apples **, peeled, cored and cut in eight wedges each
1     tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½    cup granulated sugar             
½    cup packed light brown sugar
2       tbsp flour
1       tsp ground cinnamon
1       tsp ground nutmeg
6     tbsp butter, melted                                                       

PLACE apples in the slow cooker liner; drizzle with lemon juice.
MIX granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Sprinkle mixture over apples.
DRIZZLE with butter. Place lid on slow cooker.
COOK on HIGH for 2-3 hours until apples are done.  Stir apples around the 1 1/2 hour mark.
CAREFULLY remove lid to allow steam to escape.
Spoon warm apples over ice cream, with ice cream; serve with cookies, if desired; serve with whipped cream; Serve with all of it! tee hee. I served mine with a scoop of Strawberry ice cream.  Yummmmmmeeeeeeeeee!

Chocolate Cherry Cobbler (Crockpot Dessert)

Time for some DESSERT!

Chocolate Cherry Cobbler <----- easy easy easy

1 box French Vanilla cake mix (use whichever flavor you like)
1 stick of butter (melted or softened - you choose)
1/4 cup - semi sweet chocolcate chunks
21oz can - cherry pie filling
Baking spray

Line your Crockpot - Spray liner with baking spray <-- another life saver

Place cherries into pot and spread out to cover the bottom.
 Scatter chocolate chunks over the cherry filling
With a wooden spoon: mix cake mix and butter together until it is all crumbly and cover the filling in the pot.

Cook on High 2 hours, scoop and serve.  It is super yum with some vanilla fudge ice cream getting melty all over it :)

It looks messy and gross .... but that's why you cover it with ice cream and/or whipped cream (just kidding)(no I'm not)...... everything looks happier with those 2 ingredients on it!
