Slow-cooker baked apples

Slow-cooker baked apples are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that takes minimal effort but yields fantastic results. Perfectly tender apples are stuffed with a mixture of brown sugar, butter, pecans, raisins, and ginger, then cooked slowly to enhance their natural sweetness and infuse wonderful flavors. This is an ideal recipe for fall or winter, delivering a comforting and warm finish to any meal.

Ingredients:

4 apples
640g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
3 tbsp butter
44g
2 tbsp pecans
30g
2 tbsp raisins
30g
1 tsp ginger
5g
1/2 cup water
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples:
- Wash and core the apples, removing the seeds and leaving the bottoms intact to create a cavity for the filling. You can use an apple corer or a paring knife for this task.
2. Make the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chopped pecans, raisins, and ground ginger until well combined.
3. Fill the Apples:
- Stuff each cored apple with the brown sugar mixture. Press the filling into the cavity to ensure it’s well-packed.
4. Add Butter:
- Place a small piece of butter on top of the filling for each apple, distributing the 3 tablespoons evenly among the 4 apples.
5. Set Up the Slow Cooker:
- Pour the 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the slow cooker. This helps to create a moist environment for the apples to cook.
6. Place the Apples:
- Carefully arrange the filled apples in the slow cooker, making sure they sit upright so the filling doesn't spill out.
7. Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on low for about 4 hours or on high for about 2 hours, until the apples are tender but not falling apart. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and type of apples used.
8. Serve:
- Once done, carefully remove the baked apples from the slow cooker using a spatula or tongs. Be careful as they will be hot and might be delicate.
9. Optional (but recommended):
- Serve the baked apples warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side for an extra treat.

Tips:

- Choose apples that are firm and good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.

- Core the apples carefully, making sure not to puncture through to the bottom to keep the filling inside.

- Feel free to experiment with the filling by adding other ingredients like walnuts, dried cranberries, or a splash of vanilla extract.

- For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the apples before cooking.

- Serve the baked apples warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an enhanced dessert experience.
