Good morning friends!
We are one week away from summer vacation which means – no school!- and this Mama is exhausted already just thinking about it!
Luckily, we took a family trip to the grocery store to stock up on some essentials so I can meal prep and plan lunches for this week. I decided to pick up some beautiful, crunchy red apples too and add them to my slow cooker for an easy Cinnamon Fried Apples dessert.
Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think!

You can use just about any larger hearty apple for this recipe.
I like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp {pictured}.
Core and slice 2 lbs of apples, leaving the skin on.
Add apples to a large bowl and add cornstarch.
Toss to coat well.
You can add separate seasonings or a mix like Apple Pie Spice or Pumpkin Pie Spice.
I added 1 tbsp Apple Pie Spice and 1 tbsp cinnamon to the apples.
Pour into the slow cooker.
Sprinkle on brown sugar.
And 1 stick of melted butter and 1/2 cup of apple cider or juice.
Give one more good mix and cover and cook on high for 2 hours.
The apples are ready when they are tender and the sauce is thick.
Serve warm for dessert with a scoop of ice cream if you’d like!
Delicious and easy to make at home right in your slow cooker!
