Easy Slow Cooker Cracker Barrel Fried Apples 😋🍏
Ingredients:
6 large apples (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious), peeled, cored, and sliced
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup apple juice or apple cider
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Prepare the Apples: Place the peeled, cored, and sliced apples into the slow cooker.
Add Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples in the slow cooker.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cornstarch, lemon juice, and apple juice until smooth. Pour this mixture over the apples and gently toss to ensure all slices are evenly coated.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Serve: Once done, gently stir to coat the apples in the sauce. Serve warm as a side dish or dessert.
