Transform your favorite autumn fruit into a cozy dessert with this recipe for Crock Pot Baked Apples with Raisins. Perfectly spiced with cinnamon and a hint of optional nutmeg, these tender baked apples are stuffed with a delightful mixture of sweet raisins and brown sugar, then slow-cooked to perfection in your crock pot. The buttery topping melds beautifully with the filling, while a touch of added water creates just the right amount of steam for even cooking. With minimal prep time and a set-it-and-forget-it cooking method, this warm, comforting treat is ideal for busy weeknights or special gatherings alike. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an irresistibly indulgent finish.
Wash the apples thoroughly and use a corer or small paring knife to remove the core, creating a hollow center. Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom of the apple to prevent the filling from leaking out.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Mix well.
Stuff each apple with the raisin mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling inside.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place a small piece on top of the filling in each apple.
Pour the water into the bottom of the crock pot to create steam that will help cook the apples evenly.
Place the stuffed apples in the crock pot, ensuring they are upright and spaced evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 3 hours, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Carefully remove the apples from the crock pot using a spatula or tongs, as they will be hot and delicate.
Serve warm as is, or top with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
