Ingredients
6 large Honeycrisp or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform wedges and place in a large bowl.
Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice to the apples and toss until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker and dot the top with the cubed butter.
Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours or HIGH for 3 hours until tender.
Stir the mixture once to combine the spices and syrup before serving warm.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For a softer compote-like texture, cook for an additional hour. For firmer apples, check at the 2.5-hour mark on high. Can be served as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
