Equipment

▢
Slow Cooker

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary

▢ 1.5 kg Bramley Apples peeled, cored and cut into thick slices
▢ ½ Lemon juice only
▢ 50 g Light Brown Sugar
▢ 1½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
▢ 1 tablespoon Cornflour
▢ 150 ml Water

Instructions

Place the peeled and sliced apples in the slow cooker basin.
1.5 kg Bramley Apples
Add the other ingredients and gently stir, making sure every piece of apple is coated in the spice mix.
½ Lemon, 50 g Light Brown Sugar, 1½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 tablespoon Cornflour, 150 ml Water
Cook on high for 2-3 hours until the apples are tender. Check after 90 minutes and if the mixture is looking a little dry, add 2 tablespoons of water.

Notes

Tips:

In order to prevent the apples from turning brown or oxidizing while slicing, you can add them temporarily to a bowl of cold water. Just remember to drain the water before adding the apples to the slow cooker.
If you're looking to make a larger batch of stewed apples, you can easily double or even halve the recipe to suit your needs.
If you're serving your stewed apples hot, let them cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning your tongue.
If you prefer your apples very tart and sour, reduce the sugar by half.

Variations:

For a festive twist, add a cup of fresh or frozen cranberries to your slow cooker along with the apples. The tartness of the cranberries pairs well with the sweetness of the apples.
Experiment with different spices to give your stewed apples a unique flavour. Try adding cardamom, allspice, or ginger for a warm and spicy flavour.
For some extra crunch, add a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to your slow cooker along with the apples

Storage:

Store - Once you've made your slow cooker stewed apples, let them cool to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container. Store the apples in the fridge for up to a week.

Freeze - You can freeze slow cooker stewed apples for longer storage. Let the apples cool to room temperature before transferring them to a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Label the container with the date and freeze for up to 6 months.

Reheating - To reheat, transfer them to a saucepan and heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave or in the slow cooker on low heat.
