Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large apples
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Place the sliced apples into the slow cooker, and drizzle them with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the apples in the slow cooker, tossing to coat evenly.
Add the vanilla extract and dot the top with pieces of butter.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the apples are tender and glossy.
Stir the apples gently to evenly distribute the syrupy mixture formed at the bottom.
Serve warm as a side dish, dessert, or topping for ice cream, pancakes, or oatmeal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
