Crockpot Baked Apples

Put them in the slow cooker in the morning and dessert will be ready in the evening! I made just two but the recipe can easily be increased.

Instead of cooking the apples in water, I used apple cider for added flavor and then served the cooked apples with the juice. 

Crockpot Baked Apples

2 baking apple 

3 tablespoons old-fashioned oats

2 ti 3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons softened butter

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon allspice 

About 1/4 apple cider (or water could be used)

1. Cut off tops of apples.
2. Core the apple to remove seeds, then core out additional apple to create a large hole; reserve extra apple and chop to add to filling.
   
3. Mix together oats, brown sugar, butter, spices and chopped apples.
   
4. Pack filling into apple cavity.
   
5. Pour 1/4 cup apple cider into slow cooker.
6. Carefully add apples.
   
7. Turn on slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until apples are tender when poked with a fork. Or, cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.

   

   Serve as is or with ice cream or whipped cream.
