Slow Cooker Cracker Barrel Fried Apples 🍎🍂
Ingredients:
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup apple juice or apple cider
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
Directions:
Place the sliced apples in the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
Drizzle the melted butter over the apples, then pour in the apple juice or cider.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours or high for 1 ½ to 2 hours, until the apples are tender but not mushy.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker during the last 15 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.
Serve the fried apples warm, spooned over pancakes, waffles, or as a side dish.
