Description
A cozy fall dessert that features tender apples bursting with warmth and flavor, perfect for sharing with loved ones.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized apples
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup apple juice or cider
Instructions
- Start by coring the apples and slicing them almost all the way through, making a lovely blooming effect.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and chopped nuts, stirring until everything is cohesive and deliciously fragrant.
- Gently stuff the mixture inside the ‘blooms’ of the apples, letting the filling nestle in every crevice.
- Place the apples in your slow cooker, ensuring they are standing upright. Pour the apple juice or cider over them, soaking them in sweet goodness.
- Drizzle the melted butter on top, allowing it to cascade over the apples and mix into the filling.
- Cover and let the slow cooker do its magic, cooking on low for 240-360 minutes or until the apples are wonderfully tender.
- Serve these divine baked apples warm, with a scoop of ice cream if you so desire.
Notes
Choose apples that hold their shape while cooking, like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Braeburn. Prep the apples the night before and store in the fridge.
