Confession: This is the first time I have ever used an apple peeler, corer & slicer. I have always done it by hand. I think I am hooked. Plus, I love how small I can chop the apples for this dip.chopped green apples with cinnamonNow, this next part will be hard because you have to open the container of Marzetti’s Caramel Dip and resist the urge to eat it by the spoonful. Ha!

Cook’s Note: The apples will cook down slightly. They will also produce some extra liquid. What I like to do (after cooking) is remove some of that extra liquid (with a turkey baster or a spoon.) Then add the leftover caramel dip and stir it in at the end. This will keep the dip thicker. Then re-cover and put the slow cooker on the “warm” setting.

    Can you use a bigger size crockpot? I have a 5 or 6 quart one. I don’t really want to buy another one.
    Thank you
