Slow Cooker Baked Apples
Serves: 3
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 120 min
Ingredients
1/2 C
Water
3
Baking apples (like Pink Lady)
1/4 C
Rolled oats
1 T
Cinnamon
1 T
Apple pie spice
6
Small dried apricots, diced
1
Pitted date, diced
1 T
Maple syrup
Directions
1
Pour the water into the bottom of a medium 3- or 4-quart slow cooker.
2
Wash and core the apples, taking care to avoid puncturing the base of the apples. (A melon baller or a teaspoon works well for this.) Peel only the top third of each apple.
3
Into a small bowl, add the remainder of the ingredients (oats, spices, dried fruit, and maple syrup), and combine very well. Stuff the apples evenly, using all of the filling mixture.
4
Carefully place the apples into the slow cooker. Cover and bake for 2 hours – on the low setting for a newer slow cooker, or the high setting for an older one, or until the apples are just tender. (Each slow cooker seems to have its own personality.)
5
Serve warm.
