Apple Butter Glazed Cocktail Franks
2 cups apple butter
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
One 1-pound package smoked cocktail franks
In a large bowl, combine the apple butter, chicken stock, BBQ sauce, apple juice, maple syrup or honey, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the cocktail franks, stirring to mostly submerge them in the sauce. Pour franks and sauce in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until heated through, about 3 hours. Serve warm in the sauce.
