Steps:

1. In a large bowl, combine apples, onions, raisins, brown sugar, white sauce mix, and fines herbes; toss well. Place mixture in a 5-quart slow cooker; dot with butter. Cover and cook on Low heat setting for 12 hours.
2. Forty minutes before serving, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray; set aside.
