Steps:

• Lightly spray the interior of your crock pot with a light coating of cooking spray for easier clean up later.

• Place the apples on top.
• Cook for 4-5 hours on high until the chicken is cooked and tender but not falling apart. Mix the sauce together so that all elements are blended. If you want a thicker sauce, remove the chicken from the crock pot and stir in a teaspoon or two of cornstarch and cook until the sauce is glossy.
