I wanted something a little more sweet to serve with my Christmas dinner, and had a bunch of apples. this recipe turned out very well, it was a huge hit with my entire family. I was originally going to bake these but didn't have the oven space. I honestly think they came out better then they would have if I had baked them. I used a 6 QT slow-cooker. Ive seen comments on similar recipes as using this as an ice cream topper, but I think it's excellent on pancakes or even waffles the next day.

prep time 30 Min
cook time 4 Hr
method Slow Cooker Crock Pot
yield 10-12 serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 10 - apples (i used cameo)
  • 1 1/2 sticks butter

  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (i used dark)
  • 1.5 - 2 ounces light rum (i used one of those tiny bottles from the liquor store)
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 dash nutmeg
