    I adore these kinds of “frugal gourmet” kinds of meals. Loads of flavor – different from my normal “cooking method” – but still super easy to put together!

    You could totally make this by adding the “relish” at the beginning of the slow cooking time, but I prefer to have a little ‘crunch’ left in my apples with a relish-topping like this. If you plan to add the apples at the beginning of the slow cooker cycle, I would soak them in some lemon water (2 cups water, 1 Tbsp lemon juice) to help cut down on the oxidation and browning. They will still have the same great flavor, but might be a bit brown after slow cooking the day away.

    I’ve written this recipe to make the “relish-topping” just before dinner. It takes a few minutes for everything to simmer. Just start it, get a favorite veggie prepared for a side dish and you’ll have a quick and easy dinner! I

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
