Super easy! This crock-pot dessert tastes like warm apple pie, but with a whole lot fewer calories...
Ingredients
- 3/8 cup Brown Sugar
- 3/8 cup Walnuts or Pecans, chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Margarine or Butter, melted
- 6 Apples, cored
- 1/2 cup Apple Juice or Cider
Directions
- Wash the apples.
- Core most of the way through each apple, using a hand-held potato peeler (this worked best for me!) or a small pairing knife. I left about ½ inch apple at the bottom.
- You could remove the skin, but I don't, as it helps hold the apple together as it bakes.
- In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, nuts, margarine or butter, and cinnamon to make the filling.
- Stuff the apples with the filling.
- Place them in the crock-pot.
- Pour the apple juice or cider into the crock-pot, around the apples.
- Set the crock-pot on high heat and cook for 2.5 hours, or until the apples are soft and begin to collapse.
- If you don’t have a crock-pot, you can use a casserole dish. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour.
Tips
- There are several alternatives to the nuts. You could try substituting with chopped raisins, prunes, granola, or rolled quick oats (moistened with 1 ½ tbsp water before stuffing the apples).
- If you don’t have apple juice or cider, you could use apple lime juice or apple vinegar (diluted with water and a little sugar) instead.
- Try eating it with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt!

They look amazing! I make them once in a while but, quite frankly, forget to prepare often enough!
Thanks for a reminder!
I am excited to try this recipe. I have a new pressure cooker and a bag of apples to use up. I love the images in your post as well -- this is a high-quality post in the food / recipe / cooking sections. The apples look very appetizing. Well done. I'm looking forward to following your feed and seeing more recipes.
