Slow Cooker Cinnamon Apples
Cook Time
Ingredients
- 9 tart apples, Jonathan apples are a great choice
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar, less if you use sweet apples
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, it is better to use too much than too little
- 1 1/2 Tablesppon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 6 Tablespoons flour
- 6 Tablespoons butter, sliced
Instructions
- First, peel apples. (If you would like to add nutrients to your dish, skip this step.)
- Second, core and slice apples. The larger the slices, the more intact the apples will be. With smaller slices, you'll end up with a smoother mixture that has apple chunks.
- Put apple slices into a Crock-Pot.
- Add all ingredients, except butter.
- Then mix so that it coats all the apple slices with the mixture.
- Place butter on top in several slices.
- Place Crock-Pot on high and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (You may also place it on low for 4 hours.)
- Halfway through, stir the mixture, making sure to scrape the bottom as a darker mixture will sink to the bottom.
- Cool slightly, serve, and enjoy!

AUTHORYes, definitely. Especially if the apples are sweeter.
This is a lot of sugar. Could less be used?

Granny Smiths are probably a good choice.
I'm not so sure this is really a healthy alternative, but it does have apples!
