Croc Pot Apple Chicken

One of my go to dinners (and one that I brag about a lot) is a recipe I found in some cook book for apple chicken. I remember the first time I suggested making it for dinner, Phil wasn't that impressed, since he is not really a fan of dishes with fruit. But now it is a staple in our house and one of his favorite fall meals.

It is also nice, to put it in the croc pot, set the timer and when I come home from work the house smells delicious and dinner is done.
