Ingredients

Adjust servings4

5 apples - peeled, cored, and diced ½ cup fresh blueberries ½ cup fresh blackberries ½ cup agave nectar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon ground ginger ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Topping: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup pecan pieces ½ cup turbinado sugar ½ cup rolled oats ½ cup butter, cut into small pieces ¼ cup ground flax seeds ¼ teaspoon sea salt

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Mix Fruit and Spices

Start by tossing the apples, pears, blueberries, blackberries, agave, cornstarch, lime juice, orange liqueur, vanilla, ginger, and cinnamon together right in your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir so it’s well mixed.

02

Make the crumb topping

Next, in a separate bowl or even a resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, pecans, sugar, oats, butter, ground flax seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork, your fingers, or a pastry blender to crumble the mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs.

03

Add Topping and Cook

Sprinkle this crumbly topping evenly over the fruit in the slow cooker. Cover it up and let it cook on low for about 8 hours or overnight, until the fruit is bubbly and the topping turns golden brown.

04

Let It Cool

Once it’s done, give it a little time to cool before serving. It’s perfect on its own or with a scoop of yogurt or ice cream!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh or frozen fruit depending on the season and availability.
