Slow Cooker Warm Cinnamon Apples
These Warm Cinnamon Apples just earned a place on my Thanksgiving table! Apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg come together to form this incredibly delicious and easy slow cooker recipe. My husband walked into the house and said, "Wow, It smells great in here!" Without a doubt, it tastes even better than it smells.
I love to flip original recipes into healthier, lower point recipes. However, it's important not to lose a bit of flavor. I cut back on the butter and replaced the sugar with golden honey. Notice how rich the sauce is, both in appearance and flavor. It's made with the slow cooker juices!
If your reaction is anything like mine, your first bite will leave you thinking you just ate a warm, high calorie slice of apple pie. It tasted so much like apple pie I couldn't resist photographing my antique Frog pie bird from England! Pie birds were used to prevent pies from boiling over by venting steam through a tiny hole in the top of the pie bird.
Take the contents of a delicious apple pie, place them in a bowl, and you have my Slow Cooker Warm Cinnamon Apples. Don't forget to add this recipe to your recipe box! Enjoy.
