| Slow Cooker Caramelized Apples - ButterYum |
The original slow cooker recipe is listed below - my notes for multiplying the recipe and converting to cook in an 18-quart Roaster Oven will be listed below that.
Slow Cooker Caramel Apples
serves 10
8 cups diced apples (peeled and cored)
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 dash freshly grated nutmeg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Put all the ingredient in a slow cooker and mix thoroughly. Cover and cook on high until apples are tender, about 3 hours. The yummy salted-cinnamon-vanilla-caramel sauce that coats the apples will thicken slightly upon cooling. Cool uncovered for a thicker sauce.
My conversion to feed a crowd of 40: I quadrupled the recipe and cooked it in my 18-quart electric roaster set to 300F for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. I used a mix of apples - galas, golden delicious, golden supreme, and Nittany. Any apple that keeps it's shape during baking will work well.

Sounds delicious, I have to try this one!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking to use my slow cooker more (or at all). This seems to be a fool-proof recipe. I bet it smells the house all up, too. YUM.
ReplyDeleteNot using my slowcooker taht much anymore..and soon gonna retire it as we are approaching summer:)But the apples do look delicious;)
ReplyDeleteI am printing this recipe. The slow cooker will become my best friend now having 2 little girls to take care of and I love apples and caramel together.
ReplyDeleteThey would be amazing in a pie:)
ReplyDeleteSounds great, I love the idea of making it in the roaster oven:@)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great recipe for a crowd! I have one of those roasters up in my pantry. That would be a perfect dessert for party!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! I could eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner...who needs cake or pie, I LOVE these apples!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good option when you need a sweet something IMMEDIATELY! I love brown sugar and apples.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that the smell was intoxicating. Picture coming in from the cold, after raking leaves, and smelling the apples, spices, butter, and sugar cooking all together in the slow cooker. Who could resist?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe, Patricia.
Adding to my list of "must makes". I have all of the ingredients on hand. This sounds so delicious. Great recipe for these chilly days.
ReplyDeleteOh this is going on my "TO MAKE" list immediately ~
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm SURE your kitchen was filled with an irresistible aroma. Those LUCKY guys!!
Thanks for sharing Patricia (and Kate!)
I'm thinking these would be delicious over oatmeal in the morning and over vanilla ice cream in the evening.
ReplyDeleteI bet your house smelled wonderful while these were cooking. I have to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteOooh yum!!! I wonder, if you cook it longer, will you get applesauce? That would be so easy! :o)
ReplyDeleteOh sure, good idea - it would happen even sooner if you used apples that break down quickly.
ReplyDeleteI just bought myself a slow cooker! i am so making this!
ReplyDeleteMMmmmmm I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving and make some homemade vanilla ice cream to go with it! Thanks for the recipe!

ReplyDeleteCheers,

This looks good and what a good solution. I love cooked apples in any form!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds absolutely delicious. I love baked apples, and I love using the slow cooker.
ReplyDeleteThis is JUST the type of recipe I was searching for! We are doing a fall/winter campout gathering and this recipe will be ideal. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteI continue to haul home bags of apples from the orchard. This is inspired - the recipe, the use of the slow-cooker - the lack of having to make a pie crust! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI did it again! Had the urge to lick the screen! So delicious. I bet it smells wonderful!

Oh, this sounds delicious. The sound of the caramel thickening as it cools really sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great recipe. :) Yeah, don't let the men handle the pies! LOL....this is such a great alternative to apple pie. Thanks for sharing. BTW, thanks for entering the recipe book giveaway. Best of luck. Wish you and your family a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

The recipe sounds really good. My favorite part is that it's so easy. I'll copy it in my recipe book.
ReplyDeleteOh this looks delicious~ I can practically smell them! I love the idea of using the slow cooker!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good. My great aunt used to serve pork chops and fried apples. These make me think of that and I know this is super delicious. Love the fact that it is easy. Great recipe!

ReplyDeleteWOW, Pat...this couldn't be easier & it really sounds scrumptious! I sure wish there weren't so many diabetics in my family. I'll have to wait for company to come before I can try it.
