Tips From The Kitchen

Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love
This dessert is warm, comforting, and naturally sweet. It’s easy to make with minimal effort and fills your home with a wonderful aroma. Using a slow cooker means the apples become tender and flavorful without much hands-on time.
Directions
Tos the apples, raisins, brown sugar, water, and spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves—into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir so the flavors begin to blend. Cover and cook on high for about 4 hours, or until the apples are nice and tender. When they're ready, scoop the apples into bowls and spoon some of the warm cooking liquid over the top. Enjoy it as is, or with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling indulgent!

How To Preserve This Dish
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a warm oven before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the apples may become mushy after thawing.
