Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in ½ cup of cold butter until resembling coarse crumbs.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of milk gently until just moistened. Transfer this mixture into the greased crock pot.
  3. Evenly spread the batter across the bottom of a greased crock pot. Core and dice about 3 cups of Gala apples, sprinkling over the batter.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of orange juice, 1/3 cup of honey or light brown sugar, ¼ cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the diced apples.
  5. Cover the crock pot with a kitchen towel, then place the lid on top to catch condensation.
  6. Set your crock pot to cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Carefully remove the lid and towel, serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
