Crock-pot Fruit Crisp Recipe

Sometimes I really crave that classic cobbler from my childhood, but I also want to watch what I am eating so I tend to go for this lighter version that offers a similar taste profile and satisfaction.

This easy Crock-pot Fruit Crisp recipe is a great alternative to a traditional cobbler and also much more fun to make in the hot summer months since it won’t heat up your house with a hot stove.  Use your preferred fruit but we love the apple and berry combination listed below.
