Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced ( I used 8, 4 pink lady and 4 granny smith)
1 cup of apple juice
1/2 cup of brown sugar, 
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (if desired)
Squeeze some lemon juice in also if desired.

Put all contents in the slow cooker, cook on high for 4 hours 
After 4 hours and the apples are soft, you can take them out and mash

Slow Cooker Herb Bread.

1 1/3 cups warm water
1 envelope dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
Another 1 Tbsp sugar 
2 Tbsp Cooking oil
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Sage
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Salt

1 Cup flour

Add 1 tsp sugar with the warm water. Sprinkle with yeast and Leave it alone for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes has passed, Stir to dissolve the yeast.

Add the next 8 ingredients. Beat on low to moisten the dough, then beat on medium for about 2 minutes. (You can also do this with your mixer if you have one that has a kneading hook.)

Work in the second amount of flour and knead. Put into your greased slow cooker. Smooth the top with your hand, or a wet spoon. Place 5 paper towels between the top of slow cooker and lid (this will absorb some of the moisture from the steam) Allow some steam to escape from your crock pot by propping it open a little. Don't lift the lid for the first 2 hours of cooking. 

Cook on high for about 2 1/2 hours. Loosen sides with a knife and turn onto a cooling rack. Cut into slices and enjoy!
