Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large tart apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup apple cider or water
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for extra depth)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples:
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into ½-inch thick slices. Add them to your slow cooker.
  3. Mix the coating:
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Combine everything:
  6. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples. Add butter pieces evenly on top. Drizzle with lemon juice and apple cider (or water).
  7. Slow cook:
  8. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours, stirring once halfway through, until the apples are tender but not mushy.
  9. Thicken the sauce:
  10. If you prefer a thicker glaze, remove the lid for the last 15–20 minutes of cooking. Stir gently until the sauce coats the apples well.
  11. Optional finish:
  12. Stir in the vanilla extract at the end for a rich, bakery-style flavor.
