Slow Cooker Weekend: Apples & Soup

Though I have been awful about posting my Slow Cooker recipes each week, I can assure you that the old Slow Cooker is still widely and regularly used.

In fact, it was brought out, not once, but twice, this weekend.

Saturday, we still had a bunch of golf ball sized apples leftover so I attempted this. Pretty yummy.
Crock Pot Cinnamon Apples

Ingredients:
6 large very tart apples, cored, sliced and peeled (peels on is okay too!)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (or less if you have sweeter apples)
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter, sliced

Directions:
Put all ingredients EXCEPT BUTTER into crock pot; stir well, coating all apple slices, and place slices of butter on top.
Cook on HIGH for 1-1/2 to 2 hours OR cook on LOW 3-1/2 to 4 hours, stirring once half way through.
Serve and enjoy!

Then, Sunday night we came home from church to this heavenly smell!
