Some people say any apple works in the slow cooker. Four hours later, they are spooning out cinnamon applesauce instead of fried apples. Use 4 pounds of firm apples, peeled and cut into thick slices. Toss them with 2 tablespoons cornstarch, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add ¼ cup sliced butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, just until the apples are tender and the sauce turns thick and glossy. Stir gently and stop cooking before the slices begin falling apart. The type of apple matters more than the extra sugar. Firm apples hold their shape. Soft apples disappear into the sauce. #EasyRecipes #DessertTime - @laura.b.zeka
