Step 1
Start by tossing the apples, raspberries, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg into your slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to mix the flavors together. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook gently for about 6 hours, or until the apples are soft enough to mash easily. Once it’s ready, use a spoon or potato masher to break down the fruit to your liking. If you want it smoother, you can blend it a bit, but it’s delicious either way. Let it cool slightly before serving or storing.
