Ingredients for Apple Tapioca

  • Tart Apples
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • Minute Tapioca
  • Red Cinnamon Candies
  • 2 cups water
  • Whipped Topping

How to Make Apple Tapioca

  1. Peel, core, and cut 4 medium apples (about 2 pounds) into eighths lengthwise. Place them in your slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together: 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca, 1/4 cup miniature marshmallows (optional), and 2 cups water until the tapioca is fully incorporated. Pour this mixture evenly over the apples in the slow cooker.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours, or until the apples are tender and the tapioca is cooked through and creamy. Stir gently halfway through cooking.
  4. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra delightful touch.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
