Featured Recipe: Sweet Cinnamon Apples

This is a wonderful treat to make for Christmas morning. It's a nice alternative to fried southern apples, with all of the warm, cinnamon goodness but fewer calories. It's simple and delicious, and can be made in a crockpot overnight to eat first thing the next morning! What a beautiful smell to wake up to.

Erica P. of Knoxville graciously submitted the recipe. 

I hope I do her dish justice!

Ingredients

10-12 Pippin apples (or 6-8 Granny Smith apples; both are tart and great for cooking with!)

1/2 C light brown sugar

1 T cinnamon 

2 t honey 

1 t nutmeg 

Directions 

"Peel, Core and cut apples into slices.  Combine apples and all ingredients in a crockpot and cook 8 hours. After apples are tender, simply mash apples with fork until your reach your desired consistency. I like a chunkier apple sauce. Not only is delicious but your home will smell just like the holidays :) "
