"This is one of my favorite recipes for the crock pot, and it is unbelievably simple and delicious. No endless stirring for this risotto! I really enjoy it topped with dried cranberries and slivered almonds. Repost from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POG6wz4A_zU"

Ingredients:: 9
Serves:: 4-6

ingredients

4 cups diced granny smith apples
4 tablespoons butter
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons cinnamon
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground allspice
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ cup dark brown sugar
4 cups apple juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¹⁄₂ cups long grain rice

directions

Dice/mince the apples and sweat them in a skillet along with the butter, cinnamon, allspice, and salt until they release their juices (3-5 min or so). I like to use my food processor for this step, so they're more minced than diced.
Depending on your crockpot, you may want to coat it in a nonstick spray.
Mix everything together in the crock put, set on high, and let cook for 2.5-3 hours or until all the liquid is gone.
