Categories: Cheesecakes, Crockpot
Yield: 6 servings

1 c All-purpose flour; sift
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 tb Salt
1 tb Sugar
1/4 c Shortening
1 Egg; slightly beaten
1/4 c Milk
4 c Tart apples; slice, peel,
Core
1/2 tb Cinnamon
1/4 tb Nutmeg
2 tb Granulated sugar
1/2 c Apricot jam
2 tb Shortening; melt

In a medium-large bowl, sift together the flour, baking
powder, salt, and 1 tb granulated sugar. With two knives,
cut the shortening into the flour until mixture is mealy.
Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and milk.
Stir in the flour mixture to form smooth batter, turn into
greased 2-quart mold. Arrange the apples in rows on top,
pushing them halfway into the dough. In a small bowl, mix
the cinnamon, nutmeg and 2 tablespoons sugar. Sprinkle over
the apples and dot with apricot jam. Drizzle butter over
all. Place in the slow cooker and cover loosely with a
plate. Cover the cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction
with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let excess steam
escape. Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours.
