Tips:
- Prep the Apples Properly: Before tossing the apples into the slow cooker, peel and core them to remove any unwanted bitterness. Cutting them into uniform chunks ensures even cooking.
- Enhance the Flavor: For a richer sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey to the mix. A dash of cinnamon or nutmeg can also elevate the flavor profile.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Taste the sauce as it cooks and adjust the amount of added sugar based on your preference. If you find it too tart, add more sugar or honey until you achieve the desired sweetness.
- Don't Overcook: Keep an eye on the sauce to prevent overcooking. Overcooked apples can lose their vibrant color and texture, resulting in a less appealing sauce.
