Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to the apples. Toss the mixture well until the apples are evenly coated.
Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract for added flavor and to prevent the apples from browning.
Grease the inside of the crock pot with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Add the apple mixture to the crock pot and spread it out evenly. Dot the top with small chunks of unsalted butter.
If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the apple mixture for a delightful crunch.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to cook on low heat for 3 hours, or until the apples are tender and bubbling and the juices have thickened.
Once done, give the mixture a gentle stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Serve warm in bowls topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
