WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

APPLE-CINNAMON BREAKFAST RISOTTO

3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 medium ( approx 1 1/2 lb) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp salt (may want to omit if you only have salted butter)
1 1/2 cups aborio rice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 cups apple juice, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional topping ideas: dried cranberries, sliced almonds, milk (all shown in picture)

Coat slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples, allspice, cinnamon, and salt. Cook, stirring, 3 to 5 minutes or until apples begin to release juices. Transfer to the prepared cooker.

Add the rice and stir to coat. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top. Add the juice and vanilla. Place cover on cooker and cook on high 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until all liquid is absorbed.

Serve in bowls and garnish as desired.
