Slow cooked apple crisp

Crock pot apple crisp

The other day I purchased a five pound bag of apples from Safeway and they were awful. I peeled two for the kids, and they were completely bruised. There were two apples in the center of the bag that were beginning to rot.

Being the person that I am, I can not waist food. When I hear people complain and say things like "I'd rather starve than to eat...," it's obvious they have never gone hungry before.

Anyhow, I just can't waste food. Instead of tossing the bag I made slow cooked apple crisp. Besides peeling and slicing the apples; it's super easy.

These ingredients are based on using a 5 lb. bag of apples. This recipe also contains nuts.

Sweet potato fries

I normally don't eat sweet potatoes in the off season because I don't like them, but I had a few potatoes on hand and didn't want them to go to waste. I decided to make sweet potato fries with them.


Since I normally eat sweet potatoes baked I didn't realize how hard it is to slice them. Unlike white or golden potatoes they are very hard. Use a non-slip cutting board and a really sharp knife to make it easier. Place a damp washcloth under your cutting  board if you don't have a non-slip one.
