Notes

It is really simple to make this fried apple recipe in your slow cooker. Just add your apples, sprinkle with the cornstarch and stir. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the apples. Mix well and then cook on high for 2 hours.
For pressure cookers, I would recommend the pot-in-pot method of cooking. Place a cup of water in your pot, place your trivet, and then use a pressure cooker-friendly dish. Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and place in your dish. Cover with foil and place on the trivet. Cook over high pressure for 5 minutes allowing for a natural release before enjoying.
