Caramelized Apples in the Crockpot #crocktoberfest2013

October 18, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 27 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Well today is the last day of #Crocktoberfest 2013 and I am saving the best for last!!  Today’s mission was to make a dessert in the Crockpot.  To be honest I never made dessert in a Crockpot, but I couldn’t wait to try it out.  I figured for my first dessert I would go with simple, flavorful and totally Fall themed.  Are you thinking apples?  You know I am!  I thought I would make a healthy caramelized apples in the Crockpot and oh my gosh what a treat this dessert is!  I’m drooling thinking of it!!

Caramelized Apples in Crockpot
Oh my if you have never made apples in the Crockpot you simply must!! The apples are tender, sweet and tastes just like an apple pie without the crust. I love the taste of cinnamon and sugar together and on apples, it’s simply amazing!! This is one of the best Fall desserts I have ever made. Not only are the apples so sweet, but the sauce is friggen incredible!! I could just drink it!!!
Caramelized Apples in Crockpot
This is so perfect for a Fall dessert or even to side with a pork dish. For the photos I topped with vanilla bean ice cream, but I have also added it to my yogurt and oatmeal. There are so many things you can do with caramelized apples. Eat it cold, warm it up, top in toast, put it in a taco shell, make a parfait. I could go on and on. However my favorite way to have it with warmed up and just a dollop of ice cream. I am so making this again and soon! Next week I’m going to Apple Hill, and I plan on buying a case of apples! I also took the next day off from work so I can make lots of apple goodies. I know I will be inspired and so excited to make apple dishes and believe you and me, this is one I’ll be making right away!! So I hope you like apples because the recipes will be coming soon!!

Caramelized Apples in Crockpot
Last year when I went to Apple Hill I picked up an apple peeler, but it slices the apples kind of funny, that’s why the shape is not in perfect slices, but this made it so fast for cutting and peeling. But no matter what way you cut the apples, they will taste perfect. Oh and for the apples I used Fuji apples for this recipe, but honestly I think any apple you like will work.
Caramelized Apples in Crockpot
To make I used almost 6 apples, I ate half of one. 🙂 I cut, peeled and cored them and place in a Crockpot. I added lemon juice, cinnamon, apple cider, stevia, only 1/4 cup brown sugar and a pinch of cornstarch to thicken it up. The apples really thicken up once cooled. I think this is a pretty healthy dessert and even though the sugar content is high, it’s only because apples contain natural sugar. So don’t let that scare you away! This is a way to have your apple pie without all of the calories!! I didn’t miss the crust on this recipe at all!

Caramelized Apples in Crockpot
I just LOVE this dessert!! I’m still drooling!  I think this is one that should go on everyone’s Fall dessert rotation. I stored my apples in a mason jar in the fridge. They should last at least a week. For me, they lasted two days. So good! I wish I had a big bowl right now!

Well I hope you enjoyed the Crockpot recipes this week from me and my fellow bloggers. I really love using my Crockpot and after this week, I plan on using it more.


Have a great weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    If you bake circle of pie crust or a circle of puff pastry on a cookie sheet, transfer the cooled pastry to a serving plate, then place the caramelized apples on top, you have a perfect Tarte Tatin.

    I was really looking forward to the taste but I the vinegar made it impossible to eat. Was one cup correct? Could something be substituted?

      Hi, I don’t use vinegar in this recipe. So I am unsure what you made? – Jen

        Okay .. I am having a good laugh. For reasons unknown in my brain I read apple cider as apple cider vinegar. I even looked back at it several times and my brain did not see the correct thing. Thanks for answering. Cider makes more sense and maybe some new reading glasses.

          Lol I just read this twice! The first time I read apple cider vinegar, too! I couldn’t figure out how that would work so I read it again! 😂😂

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

I’m sharing with you my media table all decked out for Easter. I just love decorating for spring and Easter. Something about pulling out the bunnies that makes me smile.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
🐰

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.
💗
Have you started decorating for Spring?

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
