Slow Cooker Cracker Barrel Fried Apples – A Warm, Comforting Treat

Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges or thin slices, depending on your preference.

Combine Ingredients in the Slow Cooker:
In your slow cooker, add the sliced apples, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together to evenly coat the apples.

Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened. You can check the consistency halfway through and give it a gentle stir.

Serve:
Once the apples are soft and caramelized, remove them from the slow cooker and serve warm. These fried apples are delicious on their own or served over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or even alongside roasted meats.
