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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
