They say you learn something new everyday. Well, today a lot of us here at the office learned that you can bake a pie in the slow cooker.

We wanted to make something comforting – something as comforting as baseball and apple pie. And then it hit us, why not make that apple pie in the slow cooker?

We felt brave and experimental and the Apple Carmel Pie turned out fabulous! The staff at The Good Cooking Store couldn’t stop raving about the light crust and soft taste of caramel in each bite. (Of course we all added big scoops of vanilla ice cream to top it off.)

So here’s to learning something new everyday and good ol’ apple pie.

***Update***

We realized that it might be helpful to include a photo of the two pie crusts placed in the slow cooker. Here's what it looks like when both crusts have been pressed into the slow cooker following the directions above.
