Ingredients

• ½ peck Golden Delicious (perfect sweetness)
• ½ c water
• 1 T Cinnamon
• ½ t nutmeg

Directions

1. Turn slow cooker/crock pot on high setting for the first 2 hours, then low for the remaining time.
2. Put ½ c water into the crock pot
3. Peel and core the apples and slice if you want a chunky topping/butter.  ~or~ leave peelings on, core and slice and run finished topping/butter through a blender.  (Peelings become very tough and leathery)  
4. Place apple slices in slow cooker.
5. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over apples.
6. Cover
7. Stir intermittently

Tip:

1. I give this as part of a vegan gift package during the holidays.  It is very difficult to find an apple topping/butter without added sugar.
2. Put this in your oatmeal or to top anything with a sweet warm finish.
