Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large apples peeled, cored, and sliced (I like Granny Smith or honey crisp!)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Place the sliced apples into the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples in the slow cooker.
  3. Drizzle the melted butter and water over the apples. Stir gently to ensure all slices are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on low for 3 hours, or until the apples are tender but not mushy.
  5. Mix cornstarch with lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this into the slow cooker, stirring well. Increase the heat to high and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve the apples warm. They are delicious on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.

Notes

Storage:
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat with a splash of water to thin the apples and syrup out, if needed. Serve once warm.
