Crock Pot Apple Brown Betty is a classic American dessert that has been around since colonial times. It is made with simple ingredients like apples, bread, and sugar, and is a comforting and hearty dessert that is perfect for colder weather. The dessert gets its name from the brown sugar and butter that create a brown crust on top of the apple mixture. This dessert is often served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, which complement the warm and sweet flavors of the dish. It is a perfect dessert for sharing with friends and family after a hearty meal.

4.	Layer half of the apple slices into the crock pot, followed by half of the bread mixture. Repeat with the rest of the apple slices and bread mixture on top.
