- Check your baking dish fits into your slow cooker first! Fold two strips of foil to create a “sling” and place in the slow cooker in a cross formation.

- Add the oats, Sukrin, flour and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Rub the butter in until the oat topping forms clumps.
- Sprinkle the topping over the apples to cover. Add the chopped pecans and nutmeg.
- Lower the baking dish into the slow cooker and cover with a clean kitchen towel then add the lid.
- Cook on the HIGH setting for 2-2 ½ hours or until the apples are cooked through.
- Lift carefully out of the slow cooker using the foil sling and serve.
