APPLE BROWN BETTY

* 3 lbs. cooking apples

* 10 slices of bread, cubed (about 4 cups)

* 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

* 1/4 tsp. nutmeg

* 1/8 tsp. salt

* 3/4 c. brown sugar

* 1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted

Wash apples, peel, core, cut into eighths; place in bottom on crock.

together. Place on top of apples in crock. Cover. Place crock into outer

shell. Cook on low setting 2 to 4 hours. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

APRICOT NUT BREAD

* 3/4 cup dried apricots

* 1 cup flour

* 2 tsp baking powder

* 1/4 tsp baking soda

* 1/2 tsp salt

* 1/2 cup sugar

* 3/4 cup milk

* 1 egg, slightly beaten

* 1 Tbsp grated orange peel

* 1 Tbsp vegetable oil

* 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

* 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Dip a knife into flour and chop the apricots finely. Flour the knife

often to keep the cut up fruit from sticking together. Sift the remaining

flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar into a large bowl.

Combine the milk, egg, orange peel, and oil. Stir the flour mixture and

the whole wheat flour. Fold in the cut up apricots, any flour left on the

cutting block and the walnuts. Pour into a well greased,

floured baking unit. Cover and place on a rack in the slow cooker, but

prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let

excess steam escape. Cook on High for 4 to 6 hours. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
