Just Like The Ones At Cracker Barrell

Can you believe that I didn’t know Cracker Barrel even existed until I was in college?

They didn’t have any Cracker Barrel restaurants where I lived in Northern New Jersey — although Northern New Jersey does have some amazing restaurants.

So it wasn’t until I was on an out-of-state road trip with friends that I came across a Cracker Barrel restaurant.

Fast forward to today, and I live just about a 25 minutes away from a Cracker Barrel. So now I am making up for lost time!

Cracker Barrel Fried Apples

Cracker Barrel’s fried apples might just be my favorite thing on their menu right along with their incredible ritz cracker meatloaf. They are just so incredible.

Being able to make these delicious fried apples, right at home in your crockpot, is so easy that you will want to make them every day.

Enjoy them on their own, or pour them over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a real treat. So good.

How to Make Cracker Barrel Fried Apples in the Slow Cooker

You will need 3-4 pounds of apples for this Cracker Barrel fried apple recipe. I have found that granny smith or golden delicious apples are great for making fried apples, so I would suggest picking up one of those two varieties if possible.

This slow cooker fried apple recipe is as easy as tossing your ingredients in the slow cooker and stirring.

The toughest part is coring, peeling, and slicing your apples, but if you use one of these, you will have your apples ready in no time at all.

    This is the second time I made these. The first time I used Cortland apples. It was good but this time I used Granny Smith apples, way better. I think they were even better than Craker Barrel. Great easy recipe thanks for sharing!!

    Can you use flour instead of cornstarch

    Reply

      I recommend using cornstarch and haven’t tried using flour in this recipe myself. However, if you are in a pinch and want to make it now and are all out of cornstarch I would go ahead and use flour. Enjoy!

    Do you cut Apple’s into 8 or 16 pieces for this recipe?

      I cut mine into 1/2 inch wedges. The exact number of slices depends on the size of the apples but I’d say probably somewhere between 8 and 16 slices for the most part.
