If you are like me, and get super excited for fresh local apples when fall rolls around, you’ll want to put them to good use in this crockpot recipe for fried apples.

These apples are perfectly seasoned, sweet, delicious, and indulgent. You can top them with whipped cream, ice cream, or just eat them plain!

Here is what you’ll need to make fried apples in the Crockpot:

This recipe uses apples of course but we will be spicing them up with cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, sugar, and butter. It’s a fairly simple recipe and it’s got ingredients that are easy to find, probably already in your fridge or pantry!

You can adjust the seasonings to taste if you like. This combination works well for us but if you like a little more cinnamon and nutmeg go ahead and add a bit more.

This recipe can definitely be doubled if you have a crowd to serve or it can be cut in half if you don’t need quite as much!

Use whatever apples you like the best. I try and pick whatever looks the best from our local places during the fall, Honey-crisp are my personal favorite!

How to make an easy fried apples recipe:

Peel, core, and slice apples into thin wedges.

In a small bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and sugar.

Here we see two servings of the apples topped with whipped cream ready to eat.

Place apple slices in the slow cooker.

Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar/cornstarch mixture over the apples and stir the apples to combine well.

Next, dot with the pieces of butter. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours, or until apples are tender but not mushy. Stir about halfway through cooking.
