Add the first 6 ingredients to a medium mixing bowl, whisk to combine. Line crock pot with liner.
Add all the filling ingredients in a small mixing bowl and sir to coat apple pieces, set aside.
Cut bread slices into triangles (that’s in half, just triangle shaped). Place one layer of bread (6 triangles) on the bottom of the slow cooker, add 1/4 of the filling and repeat until there are 3 layers of bread. Add the remaining filling to the top.
