VARIATIONS ON HONEY ROASTED APPLES AND POTATOES

  • Root Veggies: Other root vegetables like turnips, parsnips, or rutabagas would taste delicious. You can also swap in sweet potatoes. Test your swap after 30 minutes of baking so you don’t overcook.
  • Apples: Use other baking apples like Granny Smith apples, Gala apples, Honeycrisp apples, or Jonagold apples. Avoid using softer apples like Red Delicious.
  • Spices: You can substitute Pumpkin Pie Spice for the spices in this recipe or add spices like cloves, cardamom, or nutmeg.
  • Bourbon: If you don’t want to cook with bourbon, substitute 1 tablespoon vanilla mixed with ¼ cup sparkling apple cider. You can use other sparkling juices like cranberry or grape too.
  • Maple Syrup: Try maple syrup or corn syrup instead of the honey. If you use dark corn syrup, reduce the brown sugar to ⅓ cup.
  • Nuts: Instead of chopped pecans, you can use toasted almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts as your crunchy topping. You could also use granola clusters.

Slow Cooker Honey Apples and Potatoes

To make slow cooker Honey Apples and Potatoes, start by buttering the bottom and sides of the slow cooker. Slice the potatoes and apples into ⅓ inch wedges. Place the potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot and top with the apples. Instead of making a glaze, top the apples and potatoes with the remaining recipe ingredients except the pecans. Slow cook, covered, on low for 4 to 4 ½ hours. Top with the pecans and cook an additional 30 minutes.

  2. Looks like a great recipe that I will make for Passover. Just wondering if potatoes and apples are peeled.

    Thank you

  5. ok they are super delicious – like I cannot stop eating them delicious – however 1 caveat – for me they took MUCH LONGER TO ROAST than the 45 minutes in the recipes – I put the glaze on after 20 minutes and then after an additional 25 minutes it was still a wet colorless soup – I lost track of how much time exactly but it was at least another 60 to 90 minutes of roasting and tossing before the glaze began to caramelize and turn brown like in the photo, from start to finish I estimate I spent almost 3 hours with this recipe —
    final verdict the extra time was completely worth it to me, when they were done they were like a delectable, jammy, gooey, candy – so good, so yummy, so tastee

      1. I am wondering if it was because the apples were so juicy that they released a lot of water and it took a long time to cook that off ?? I am not sure. I am so grateful for the experience. These are the best!!

  7. In the variations, you mention Bourbon (and a substitute), but I don’t see Bourbon mentioned in the recipe. How much to use and when do you add it to the dish? Thanks

  9. Oh my goodness, these look so yummy. I love honey and how it blends so nicely with just about anything. Giving these potatoes a little sweetness.
