Crockpot Cinnamon Apples
Sweet and easy cinnamon apples made in a crockpot with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for the ultimate mouth watering warm cinnamon apples that can be served on their own, as a topping, filling, and more!
Equipment
- crock pot
Ingredients
- 3 lbs apples (8 medium apples) (Recommended: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Wash, dry, and peel the skin off of the apples. Slice the peeled apples into thin even slices around ¼" to ⅓" thick.*
- Put all the ingredients in the crockpot including sliced apples, brown sugar, salted butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
- Add the sliced apples, lemon juice, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch to the crockpot. Toss the apples to distribute the ingredients ensuring the apples are coated evenly.
- Turn the crockpot on and cover. Cook for 2 hours on high or up to 4 hours on low. Stir a couple times during the cooking period. Stop the cooking process at this point to ensure they do not overcook. Apples are done when they're fork tender but still hold shape well. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Slice all the apples around the same thickness so that they take the same amount of time to cook.
- Slice the apples around ¼"-⅓" thick to ensure they are thick enough to hold up, but thin enough to cook evenly. If the apples are sliced too thin, they can turn into mush if cooked for too long. Consequently if they're too thick, they can take a longer time to cook.
- Remove from the crockpot once they are done cooking or shut the heat off or turn to keep warm so that the cooked cinnamon apples do not overcook. The longer the apples are on the heat, the longer they will cook and naturally - the softer they will become.
