32 servings
- 5 lb apples (about 10–12 medium; a mix of fuji, honeycrisp, and granny smith works well), peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ⅛ tsp fine salt
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the chopped apples to the slow cooker insert. Sprinkle the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and salt over the apples, then drizzle in the apple cider vinegar. Stir to coat the apples evenly.

Place the lid on the slow cooker slightly ajar — about 1 inch off-center — to allow steam to escape. Cook on LOW for 8–10 hours (or HIGH for 4–5 hours), stirring once or twice during cooking, until the apples are completely collapsed and very dark, with a deep caramel-brown color throughout.
