Baked Apples

 

Recipe Ingredients

• Apples (about four Granny Smith apples fit comfortably into my slow cooker).
• Dried cranberries (or raisins, or leave these out entirely).
• Brown sugar 
• Butter (or margarine)
• Cinnamon and allspice (you can leave the allspice out if you like but I love how it enhances the cinnamon. Also, if you are a nutmeg lover you can add that as well. I’ve never been a nutmeg fan so I avoid it).
• You can also add pecans, walnuts, oats, or anything else you come up with! 

1. Place your brown sugar, dried cranberries or raisins, and cinnamon and allspice (or whatever spices you are using) in a small bowl and stir them up really well.
2. Now place the cored apples in the bottom of your slow cooker and use a spoon to fill each apple with your sugar mixture.
3. Top each one with a pat of butter. 

4. Add in 1/2 cup of water and cover with lid. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours for large apples. I used five small to medium apples, so I cooked mine on high for 2.5 hours, or until tender.

5. I recommend checking them after 3 to 4 hours on low and after 1 hour on high.
