Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced

Sweeteners and Spices

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

Thickener and Fat

  • 3 tablespoons corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In the slow cooker, place the peeled and thinly sliced Granny Smith apples. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, corn starch, and a pinch of salt. Stir to evenly coat all the apple slices with the sugar and spices. Cube the unsalted butter and gently mix it into the apple mixture.
  2. Cook the apples: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 4 hours, or alternatively, set it to high heat and cook for 2 hours. Stir the mixture once during the cooking process to ensure even cooking and thickness formation.
  3. Serve warm: Once cooked, serve the cinnamon apples warm as a delicious dessert or side. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a topping for pancakes, oatmeal, or ice cream.
