1
Peel and cut 6 medium Granny Smith apples into eighths, then toss them in a bowl with 1 tbsp lemon juice to prevent browning.
2
Add the lemon-coated apples to the crockpot along with ½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar, ½ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries, ¼ cup melted butter, and 2 tsp ground cinnamon.
3
Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly throughout the apples.
2 minutes
4
Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 5 hours, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water until smooth to create a slurry.
1 minutes
6
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the crockpot, mixing well to thicken the apple mixture.
7
Cover and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes until the liquid thickens to a sauce-like consistency.
8
Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts just before serving to maintain their texture.

Spoon the warm cinnamon apples into serving bowls and drizzle with the thickened sauce from the crockpot.
