Step 1

In a large bowl, add the flour, 2/3 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt and stir to combine.

Add 1/2 cup of the cold butter to the flour mixture and cut it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the milk to the crumb mixture and stir until just moistened.

Step 4

Grease the bottom and the sides of a 4-5-quart slow cooker.

In a medium-size bowl, add the orange juice, the honey, the remaining melted butter, the remaining sugar, and the cinnamon and whisk to combine.

Step 8

Pour the sauce mixture over the apples.

Step 9

Place a clean kitchen towel over the opening of the slow cooker, which will keep condensation from the lid from going into the slow cooker.

Serve warm.
