4 large onions, thinly sliced
2 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and chopped
½ cup butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups apple cider
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ cup shredded Gouda cheese
6 (1 inch thick) slices French bread

Steps:

  • Set a slow cooker on Low, and put in half of the butter to melt. Add the onions and apples; cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
  • After the cooking time is up and apples and onions are soft, pour in the brandy, chicken broth and apple cider. Set the slow cooker to High and cook for 1 to 2 hours, until simmering.
