Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Apples (e.g., Gala, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
- 0.5 cup Red cinnamon candies (e.g., Red Hots)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Water
- 1 pint Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and core the apples, being careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Leave about 1/2 inch of the apple intact at the base to hold the filling.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.
Fill each cored apple with about 1-2 teaspoons of the brown sugar mixture and top each with a small pat of butter (approx. 1/4-1/2 teaspoon).
Place the stuffed apples upright in the crock pot, ensuring they fit snugly so they remain upright while cooking.
Sprinkle the red cinnamon candies evenly over and around the apples in the crock pot.
Pour the water into the bottom of the crock pot, being careful not to pour it directly over the apples.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the apples from the crock pot using a slotted spoon and transfer them to serving dishes.
Drizzle some of the warm cinnamon-candy syrup from the bottom of the crock pot over each apple.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added decadence. Enjoy!
