  This is a great make ahead slow cooker recipe for those busy days. Okay who am I kidding, that’s everyday, but whatever. For one of those days when you want to feel like a cook without actually cooking.
  
  Has a little bit of a curry thang going on. It is healthy, but hearty enough that you will not leave the table starving. I paired this chili with soft naan. Love naan. Any excuse to eat it is fine by me.

- Slow Cooker Apple and Pear Crisp (healthified)

  I love the smell of cooked apples.
  
  I feel very Suzy Homemaker when I can time that scent to when the family walks in the door. Here is a recent dessert timed just right for when the school bus did a drop off and left me with two hungry boys.
  
  Healthy Slow Cooker Apple and Pear Crisp
  
  Ingredients
  - 1/2 cup brown sugar
  - 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar (or more brown sugar)
  - 1 cup rolled oats
  - 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
  - 4 tablespoons coconut oil (slightly soft. If yours is solid, microwave for a few seconds)
  - 3-4 cups sliced apples and pears (I left the peels on because mine were organic. Hopefully I convinced you to go organic after this post.)
  - 3/4 cup water
  - 1/4 cup sugar
  - 1 tsp. cinnamon
  Directions
  1. Stir the first 4 ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Add coconut oil and use a fork to scramble it up a bit and make soft crumbs.
  3. Combine the apples and pears in a large bowl. Stir in half the crumbs, mixing to coat all the apples.
  4. Pour into your pre-sprayed bowl of the slow cooker.
  5. Whisk water, sugar and cinnamon together. Pour over apple/pear mixture.
  6. Top with remaining crumb mixture.
  7. Place a paper towel over the bowl before putting lid on slow cooker. This will keep it “crisp”.
  8. Cook on low for 2 hours.
  A few pictures to help your process…
  
  Mix up the first four ingredients.
  
  Add your coconut oil.
  
  Chop your apples and pears.
  
  Fruit and crumble mixture.
  
  Don’t forget your paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
  
  Perfect.
  
  I also made this coconut whip cream recipe.
