Throw the ingredients in your slow cooker while you put the final touches on dinner, and when everyone is ready for a bit of something sweet, you’ve got a warm, fruit-filled dessert to serve (a la mode of course).
Ingredients
600-g pkg frozen mixed berries
2 unpeeled apples, cored and coarsely grated
3 thick slices stale, crusty Italian bread
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Stir berries with apples in slow-cooker insert. Smooth out into an even layer.
Break bread into pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse until small crumbs form. They should measure 2 cups. In a large bowl, stir bread crumbs with sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt and butter until combined. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over berry mixture.
Place a clean tea towel, folded in half, between the pot and the lid of the slow cooker to absorb moisture. Cover and cook on high until fruit is hot, about 1 1/2 hours. Serve warm with ice cream.
