Ingredients:

How To Prepare Slow Cooker Cracker Barrel Fried Apples:
Step 1: Combine Apples and Spices: Place the sliced Granny Smith apples into the slow cooker. In a bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.
Step 2: Add Butter and Water: Pour the melted butter and water over the apples. Gently stir to coat all the slices with the sugary spice blend.
Step 3: Cook Slowly: Cover and cook on LOW for about 3 hours, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Step 4: Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and lemon juice together until smooth. Add this mixture to the slow cooker, stirring to combine. Turn the heat to HIGH and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens to your liking.
Step 5: Serve Warm: Enjoy the fried apples on their own or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a comforting dessert.
