You can make soft, sweet apple slices in a slow cooker 🍎—perfect as a side, dessert, or topping for pancakes, oatmeal, or ice cream. Here’s how:
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 4–5 apples (any kind, peeled or unpeeled), sliced
- 2–3 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1–2 tsp butter (optional, for richness)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, prevents browning)
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg or allspice
Instructions
- Prep the apples
- Peel (optional), core, and slice apples.
- Toss with lemon juice if using.
- Add to slow cooker
- Place apple slices in the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, and any optional spices.
- Dot with butter if you like.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours or high for 1–1.5 hours, until apples are tender but not mushy.
- Serve
- Serve warm as a side, dessert, or topping.
- You can also mash slightly for a chunky applesauce texture.
If you want, I can give a spiced slow-cooker apple recipe with a caramel-like syrup that makes it taste like dessert apples right out of a bakery.
Do you want me to do that?
