How To Make Slow Cooker Apple And Blueberry Pie
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the slow cooker.
- Layer the Apples: In a bowl, combine the apples with the mixed spice, then evenly layer them in the slow cooker.
- Make the Batter: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and coconut sugar until pale and thick. Add the melted coconut oil, agave syrup (or honey), and vanilla seeds, mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the Flour and Blueberries: Gently fold in the sifted flour, followed by the blueberries.
- Cook the Pie: Pour the batter over the apples, covering them evenly. Cook on high for 2½ hours.
- Cool and Serve: Turn off the slow cooker and let the pie set for 30 minutes before removing it. Serve with a dollop of mascarpone.
Recipe Tips
- Slice the Apples Thinly: The thinner you slice the apples, the better they will cook down into a soft, sweet layer under the batter.
- Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries give the pie a burst of flavor. If you use frozen, make sure they’re not too icy to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
- Check Cooking Time: Every slow cooker is different, so check the pie after 2 hours to make sure it’s cooked through. It should be golden and firm on top.
- Let the Pie Rest: Allow the pie to rest for 30 minutes after cooking. This helps it set and makes it easier to serve.
- Grease the Slow Cooker Well: Make sure to grease the slow cooker properly so the pie doesn’t stick. This will help you get a clean, easy serving.
