Put raw apple slices in a slow cooker with these 3 ingredients. Comfort food at its best.

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg. If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the sugar to 1.5 cups or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. For a spicier kick, increase the amount of cloves or add a bit of ground ginger. You can also experiment with different apple varieties to achieve your desired taste and texture, such as using a mix of tart and sweet apples.
