These Easy Slow Cooker Cracker Barrel Fried Apples are a delightful, sweet, and spiced treat. Perfect for a cozy dessert or side dish, the apples cook to tender perfection in the slow cooker, coated in a cinnamon-sugar sauce with a touch of butter. This simple recipe brings all the comfort of homemade fried apples with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  • Prepare Apples: Place the sliced apples in the slow cooker.
  • Mix Sugars and Spices: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples in the slow cooker, tossing to ensure they are well coated.
  • Add Butter: Dot the apples with pieces of butter.
  • Cook: Cover and set the slow cooker to low. Cook for 4 hours, or until the apples are soft and the sauce is bubbly.
  • Finish and Serve: Stir the apples thoroughly before serving to evenly coat them in the delicious spiced sauce.

Notes

  • Type of Apples: Tart apples like Granny Smith work best in this recipe, as they balance the sweetness of the sugar and spices.
  • Adjusting the Spice: Feel free to adjust the cinnamon and nutmeg to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder spice flavor.
  • Add-ins: You can also add a splash of vanilla extract or a handful of raisins or chopped nuts for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
