Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 0.5 cups small pearl tapioca (uncooked)
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges, and set them aside.
Rinse the small pearl tapioca in cold water and let it drain for a few minutes.
In a crock pot, layer the sliced apples evenly on the bottom.
Sprinkle the tapioca pearls over the apples, distributing them evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the apples and tapioca in the crock pot.
Dot the mixture with pieces of butter scattered across the top.
Pour the water evenly over the ingredients in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on Low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the apples are tender and the tapioca has thickened into a creamy consistency.
Once cooked, stir in the vanilla extract and mix gently to combine.
Serve warm as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
