What Makes This Recipe Unique
This breakfast dish is perfect for busy mornings because it requires minimal prep and cooks slowly while you start your day. It’s warm, comforting, and filled with sweet fruit and tender dough. Plus, using a slow cooker means less time spent watching the stove.
Step 1
Tos the apples, pears, blueberries, blackberries, agave, cornstarch, lime juice, orange liqueur, vanilla, ginger, and cinnamon right into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together.
Step 2
In a separate bowl (or a resealable bag if you prefer), 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.
Step 3
Sprinkle this crumble topping evenly over the fruit in the slow cooker.
Step 4
Pop the lid on and let it cook on Low for about 8 hours, or even overnight. You'll know it's ready when the fruit is bubbly and the topping turns golden brown.
Step 5
Once done, let it cool a little before serving so the flavors settle and it's easier to scoop out. Enjoy!
