Instructions
- Using an apple corer or paring knife, cut around the core, leaving about half an inch at the bottom. Remove as much of the core and seeds as possible.
- In a small bowl, stir together the raisins, brown sugar, oats, nuts, cinnamon, and butter.
- Place the apples right side up in the crockpot. Spoon the mixture evenly into the apples. Add 1/2 cup of water (or apple cider) to the bottom of the crock pot.
- Cover and slow cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until apples are soft all the way through but not mushy.
- Serve warm. Optional: Drizzle honey over the cooked apples or add a scoop of ice cream on the top of each one!
Notes/Tips
The best apples to use for whole baked apples are firm and perfectly round ones. I usually use ones that are crisp and just a little tart, like Granny Smith, Fuji, Pink Lady, or Honey Crisp.
