Instructions
1

Begin by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.

Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the crock pot and pour the maple mustard mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.

3

Core and slice the apples into wedges, then add them to the crock pot around the chicken. Sprinkle the fresh sage leaves over the top for an aromatic touch.

4

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

5

Once done, carefully remove the chicken and apples from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter.

6

Drizzle some of the cooking liquid over the top for added flavor. Serve warm with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
