Slow Cooker Honey and Cinnamon Apples
Tender apple slices slow-cooked with cinnamon, honey, coconut sugar, and ghee deliver classic, cozy flavor. Arrowroot gently thickens the juices into a silky sauce. With less added sugar than most slow-cooker or stewed-apple recipes, these are wonderful warm on their own, tucked into a pie or crisp, spooned over yogurt, or blended into a smoothie.
