I shared these Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples last year, thanks to a recipe from my friend Lindsay, and as with all things apple, and all things that just sound like it wouldn’t hurt to add booze to them, I had to make these Fireball Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples this year.

I love what Fireball does for apple recipes and desserts that are heavy on cinnamon. It adds new dimension to the flavors, without being overpowering or having too much boozy bite. Fireball is smooth and not crazy strong, but still adds next-level punch to a recipe. These Fireball Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples are a great example of that.

As soon as I tried these Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples last year, I knew that the next time I made them, I needed to add Fireball. One taste, and I was already excited to make them again with cinnamon whiskey. These Fireball Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples are quite addictive. Spoon them over ice cream, oatmeal, yogurt, you name it….

The story with the original Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples is that I got a text from Lindsay, a good friend of mine from law school, and she was asking whether it was a big deal that she added a tablespoon of nutmeg to a recipe instead of a tablespoon of cinnamon.

I candidly told her that a tablespoon of nutmeg is quite A LOT of nutmeg, and that it’s one of those spices where a little goes a long way, but I really wanted to know what she was making because Lindsay is more of a cook than a baker. What was she using baking spices for??

She sent me her recipe for these Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples. I was immediately captured by this recipe, and I could.not.wait. to make these. Such a simple idea, but practically genius. Like apple pie without the crust. Just perfectly sweet, gooey, spicy, apple pie filling. YAY.

And now, madeover with Fireball. There is so much to love about these Fireball Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples. First, the ingredients are all quite common and easily accessible. Second, it’s a crock-pot recipe! Those are the best. I jump at any chance to use my crock-pot. Third, it’s pretty much dump-and-cook. Throw everything in the crock-pot, give it a stir, and go.

Best of all, these Fireball Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples are soooo delicious, easy, and versatile. Apple pie filling in a sauce or topping, and with a slightly boozy kick. You can put these Fireball Crock-Pot Cinnamon Apples on ANYTHING!!! Such a simple, but amazing, recipe.

As I said, I love adding Fireball to apple recipes or recipes where cinnamon is a big feature. I’ve now made this Fireball Apple Crisp, Fireball Apple Pie, Fireball Cake, Fireball Whiskey Caramel Sauce, and Fireball Pecan Pie.

I also rounded up a bunch of great Fireball recipes in one place: 20 Sizzling Fireball recipes. Check it out. 🙂

Also, I have a few simple crock-pot dinners too. My personal faves are this Slow-Cooker Coconut Curry Chicken, this Slow-Cooker Chicken Paprikash, and this Slow-Cooker Honey Mustard Chicken.

Prep Time 20 mins

Cook Time 2 hrs

Total Time 2 hrs 20 mins

Course Dessert

Servings 8

Ingredients

  

• 6 medium apples (I used Gala) peeled, cored, chopped
• 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup Fireball or cinnamon whiskey
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. apple pie spice
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/4 cup butter melted
• 1/4 cup flour

Instructions

 

• Combine all ingredients in a slow-cooker, and stir to coat. 
• Set to 'low', and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and tender, but not mushy. 
• If desired, stir in 3-4 additional tablespoons of Fireball whiskey at the end of cooking to ramp up the flavor. 

Notes

Slow-cookers and crock-pots can vary quite a lot in cooking time. My slow-cooker tends to cook pretty fast, and even on 'low', these were ready in about 2 hours. Please check occasionally to see how your apples are progressing!

Each medium apple yields about 1 cup chopped.
