Zimtäpfel aus dem Schongarer

Zutaten

• 6 large Granny Smith apples (about 3 lbs- peeled and cored. Or any firm apple variety)
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar (1/2 cup if your apples are super sweet)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Cut apples about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick slices. Place in 4 or 6 quart crock pot.

2. 2

   Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, then stir to coat evenly.

3. 3

   Cut butter into small pieces and dot over apples.

4. 4

   Cover and cook on High for 3 hours, or Low for 6 hours, stirring halfway through cook time.

5. 5

   The apples are done when tender, but not soggy. They should retain their shape. Around 2 hours and 45 minutes (on high) seemed to produce the best texture for us. Keep an eye on your apples, checking for tenderness every 15 minutes after the 2 hour mark.
