These slow cooker fried apples taste just like the famous Cracker Barrel version, featuring tender apple slices in a warm cinnamon sugar glaze. Despite being called “fried,” these apples are gently cooked in butter and spices until soft and caramelized. Perfect as a side dish for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, or serve as a comforting dessert with ice cream. The slow cooker makes this recipe incredibly easy and hands-off.
