Crock Pot Stewed Apples

Shiraz's Note:

This is such a comfort food to me in the Fall and Winter. I hope you like it as much as I do!

• Total Time: 4 hrs 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 lbs tart apples, sliced cored, and peeled (I actually prefer to leave the peels on, but that's up to you)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 -3 tablespoons butter, sliced into a few thin pieces

Directions:

1. Put first 5 ingredients in your crock pot.
2. Stir well to coat the apples with all the spices.
3. Dot with butter.
4. Cook on low about 4 hours.
5. Stir once during cooking.
6. Since crock pot temperatures vary, you should check to make sure that apples are soft but not mushy like apple sauce.
7. It should have the consistency of apple pie filling.
8. This is DELICIOUS warm with vanilla ice cream!
9. It's good plain too.

Not only is this a great tasting dish, it filled the house with a wonderful aroma. (We couldn't wait for it to finish cooking). Great tasting and so easy to prepare. I served this with left over ham. Yum!!!! Thank you so much, SF Girl.

This worked well for me just took longer than the 4 hours but crock pots all vary so much with their temperature settings and it was not a problem ! I reduced the butter and sugar and this is a great way to use up apples that are nearly passed their use by date.

Loved them. So easy (after you peel the apples). I used Jonathon, as they were on sale 3lbs for $1. . .can't beat that. . .and they were a tad bit sweet and a tad bit tart. . .PERFECT. I cut mine in 1/2 inch slices and they were cooked at 3 hours on low. I just realized that I didn't throw in the butter, but it was great without. I used 1/2 cup Splenda and 1/2 cup brown sugar with excellent results. Will most definitely make this again.
