Apple Chicken in the crock

So this is something I make so often it's ridiculous.  Why wouldn't I make it so often, it's really ridiculously easy and wonderfully delicious.

Apple chicken has 3 steps.

Step one: put apples in the bottom of the crock.  Apples absorb and distribute the heat so you can have evenly cooked meats.
Step two: put any bone-in chicken on top.  Here I used thighs.  Legs or split breasts are also great.  Boneless chicken comes out looking a little odd, but still tastes great, so that's up to you.  I also added coriander seed on top.
Step Three: 10 to 11 hours (with lid on of course) on high.  Done!
Yes, that's really it!  So yummy!  So easy!  Love it, can't be beat.  I recently switched to a timed crock, which makes this even easier.  I highly recommend the upgrade to timer for anyone who uses a crock pot relatively frequently.

    Hi! I have notes about boneless skinless chicken for this, and about crock sizes!

    Boneless skinless chicken can reduce cooking time by 4 hours, and few table spoons of butter or oil helps keep it moist.

    Teeny tiny crock pots cook WAY faster. 5 to 6 hours in a tiny crock will be plenty! Go ahead and pile the chicken in, it cooks down quite a bit, with no risk of overflowing.

    Also, cinnamon is lovely with this :) instead of the coriander.

    THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK GINGER!!
