If you love the cozy flavors of fall as much as I do, then I’m certain these simple Pumpkin Spice Country Apples will be a fast favorite. A combination of fresh, flavorful apples are slow-cooked with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice mix just until they are perfectly fork-tender, warm, and delightfully fragrant.
These crock-pot country apples taste like a crisp autumn day in every single bite, and as a bonus, your house will smell amazing while they are simmering!
This is my favorite kind of recipe — easy, yet impressive! These slow cooked apples always feel a little more special than the effort required to make them.
After peeling and slicing the apples and gathering a handful of pantry staples, the slow cooker does the rest of the work. The apples are gently cooked until they are irresistibly tender, while a buttery, caramel-like pumpkin spice sauce coats every slice.
This recipe is such an easy, budget-friendly side dish for the autumn months, but I have also been known to eat a little bowl (or two) of them all on their own (so good!). I don’t blame you, if you do too.
These old-fashioned country apples look and smell amazing when they are done crocking, and they don’t really like to take no for an answer when it comes to giving them a little taste immediately!
Serve these tender pumpkin spice country apple slices warm alongside chicken, pork, or your favorite comfort food dinner. They also make a scrumptious warm topping for waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, pound cake, ice cream, and yogurt.
However you serve them, they will be an absolutely delicious way to bring a little extra fall coziness to the table!

I’d be putting these on everything, French toast, pancakes, ice cream! I bet they’d even be great with pork chops.
These look so delicious. I’d be the one pouring this over ice cream…
They are SO good with vanilla ice cream, thank you!! 🙂
Pumpkin and apples together? I love this combination and who can resist cooked apples in the fall?
The warm cozy spices are the best spices 🙂 Thank you, Heather!
This would be a great recipe for me to teach my students — slow cookers are no allowed in the dorms!
Hi David, I hope they love it! I wish I had a slow cooker in the dorms back in the day!! lol Thank you! xo
Oh boy! These would not last long in my house. I can think of so many ways to serve them besides just giving me a fork and letting me get at them! I’m thinking over vanilla ice cream, too!
Thank you, Lisa! I love them just as they are out of the crock, so comforting and sweet!
I am so excited to make these! These are a great way to sneak lots of apples into my grandsons.
I hope they love them, Karen! Thank you so much! 🙂
I often make fried apples. Very similar, but haven’t tried them with the pumpkin spice. Making them in the slow cooker could be very helpful.
Hi Wendy, thank you! Happy Fall 🍂🎃
These would disappear so fast in my house!!! Total fall comfort food…and so easy to make too!!!
Hi Colleen, thank you! They never last long here either, so good with oatmeal for breakfast 🙂
