Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Large apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup Apple cider or water
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and core the apples, being careful to leave the bottom intact to create a hollowed-out area for the filling.
In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and raisins (if using).
Divide the filling mixture evenly among the cored apples, pressing it down gently into each hollow.
Place the stuffed apples into the crock pot, ensuring they sit upright and do not topple over.
Top each apple with a few small cubes of butter, dividing the butter evenly among them.
Pour the apple cider or water around the base of the apples to create steam during cooking.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Carefully remove the baked apples from the crock pot using a slotted spoon and let them cool slightly before serving.
For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
