Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to the apples. Toss the mixture well until the apples are evenly coated.

Grease the inside of the crock pot with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to cook on low heat for 3 hours, or until the apples are tender and bubbling and the juices have thickened.

Once done, give the mixture a gentle stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
