Healthy Crockpot Candied Apples Recipes

Steps:

• Place apples and red hots in a medium-sized crock pot.
• In a small bowl, combine all the other ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture over the contents of the crock pot.
• Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours until the apples have softened. (Check the apples after half the time; the full time gives an applesauce consistency, but I prefer to have chunks of soft apples.)
• Serve warm or cold.
• Note: I have used the stovetop to cook this recipe. In a sauce pan, add water and red hots. Cook on low until the red hots are melted into the water, a few minutes. Mix all the remaining ingredients except apples. Add to the pan, stir, and then add the apples. Stir and cover. Cook until the apples are nicely tender, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Cut into eighths.
• Place sweet potatoes in crock pot.
• Sprinkle brown sugar over potatoes.
• Drizzle syrup over brown sugar.
• Dot with butter.
• Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over top.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours, stirring once an hour.
• Peel, core and slice the apples into eighths (for smaller apples) or sixteenths (for larger apples). Add to crock pot and stir.
• Cover and cook an additional 2 hours or until sweet potatoes and apples are tender. Stop cooking and remove from crock pot if sweet potatoes seem like they are getting mushy. Sometimes they get done more quickly than others.
