Fried Apples Cracker Barrel Style but made in the Crock Pot!

                                                                                

The aroma fills your house and once done, oh my, warm apple goodness that can't be beat! These go great with any meat but works as a dessert too!

15 Large Apples peeled and sliced. I used Honey Crisp. I put my slices right into a bowl with 2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice to prevent browning. Just stir each time you add more sliced apples. 

3 Tablespoons Cinnamon

1 Teaspoon Ginger

1 and 1/2 Cups Dark Brown Sugar

2 Tablespoons Cornstarch

3/4 Cup Melted Butter use Salted Butter

2 Teaspoons Vanilla

1/2 Cup Apple Cider or Juice, I used Cider

Heat Crock Pot to High then spray with cooking spray. 
Scoop apples out of the lemon juice and put right into the crock pot. Stir all your dry ingredients together until combined well.  Sprinkle this over the apples and stir to make sure each slices is coated. Now pour over the apple mixture the melted butter, cider and vanilla, stir well to be sure it is mixed well. Cook on high 3 to 4 hours, mine was perfect at 4 hours!  Apple Perfection! Serve hot as a side with beef, pork, ham, turkey, chicken, sausage or as dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream! 




Baked Beans With Burger

                                                                               

Super Easy 1 Pot Dish! I baked mine but crockpot would work too!


1 and 1/2 Pound Burger browned and drained

2 Cand Hanover Great Northern Beans 40.5 Ounce Size DO NOT DRAIN!

1 8 Ounce Can Tomato Sauce

1 Onion Peeled and Chopped

3 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard

Brown Sugar to taste. I like mine sweet so I used 2/3 Cup. But dump some, taste and tweak to suit you!

1 Tablespoon Chopped Parsley

1 and 1/2 Teaspoon Steak Seasoning

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. 
In a large roast pan just dump everything in and mix well. Cover with lid or with foil and bake 2 hours stirring once halfway through the baking.  Recover and return to oven for 1 more hour!
OR, mix everything in your crockpot and cook on low 6 hours or on high for 4. Yummy!
