Spiced Apples

From Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook

Ingredients:
4 Jonathan apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
2 Tbsp Butter Buds Sprinkles
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp water

Spray a slow cooker with nonfat cooking spray. In the slow cooker mix together the apples, Butter Buds, cinnamon, brown sugar and water. Cover and cook on high for 3 1/4 to 4 1/2 hours or on low for 7 to 9 hours.


What I did differently from the recipe:
Am I the only one who doesn't know what Jonathan apples are? No matter. I used Red Delicious which we just happened to have at the house already. I went online to look up a Butter Buds substitution chart. I used 1/2 cup of butter instead of Butter Buds.

What I'll do differently next time:
Same as above.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! I didn't get a picture of the end product but they were great. I don't really think they're any different from baked apples (which I've never made) but they were certainly easy to do and a great, light side dish. Yum!
