Best 4 Baked Apples Crock Pot Recipes
In the realm of delectable desserts, baked apples stand as a testament to the harmonious marriage of simplicity and flavor. Whether served warm or chilled, these tender, caramelized apples, infused with the heady aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of citrus, have a timeless charm that captivates both the young and the young at heart. As the days grow shorter and the nights grow cooler, the allure of baked apples intensifies, evoking memories of cozy kitchens filled with the enticing scent of apples roasting in the oven. However, for those seeking a more hands-off approach to this classic treat, the crock pot offers a convenient and equally delightful alternative. With its gentle, slow cooking method, the crock pot allows the flavors to meld and deepen, resulting in baked apples that are bursting with juicy sweetness and tender-crisp perfection.

CROCK POT BAKED SPICED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES OR PEARS
A delicious recipe using red cabbage, fragrant spices & apples or pears; whilst this is happily cooking away, the spicy smell pervades the kitchen & indeed the rest of the house and heralds the start of my festive baking & freezing season - who needs expensive pot-pourries! Not only is this dish delectable to eat alongside turkey, pork, beef and hams in particular - but the colour is just gorgeous, a rich jewelled ruby red! This cabbage can be kept warm for long periods, reheated and also freezes very well, making it a very well behaved recipe!!

Steps:
- Discard outer leaves of the red cabbage and ut into quarters. Cut out the central woody root and then shred the quarters very finely. Place in a bowl. Cut the apples or pears into quarters, core them & then slice into fine dice and set aside in another bowl.
- Place peeled and diced onions into another bowl & make sure all the other ingredients are measured and to hand!
- If cooking in a conventional dutch oven or Le Creuset type casserole dish, turn oven on to 180 C or 360°F It can be cooked on top of the stove too.
- For cooking in the crockpot - take the inner crock out and start layering the ingredients: Red cabbage, then salt & pepper; Apples or pears, onions & garlic, then the spices & brown sugar;keep layering this way until everything has been used up.
- (If you would like it slghtly spicier, add a little more spices, but no more than 1 teaspoon per spice, as it will be too spiced & will detract from the apple/pear & red cabbage flavours!).
- Dot the top of the red cabbage with the butter and pour over the red wine vinegar.
- Season once more with salt & pepper and cook for 6 to 12 hours on High in the crockpot, until everything has broken down, is soft and it is a rich red colour.
- For conventional cooking - cook for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours at 180 C or 360°F I.
- It can be cooked on the stove top too; takes about 2 - 3 hours on a low heat, just a slow simmer.
- Pears can be used as well, and I sometimes add a handful of cranberries for a really festive touch!

CROCK POT BAKED APPLES
Steps:
- 1. Take your apples and wash and core them. I tried to core them with a knife and just about lost my fingers. So instead I jammed an apple peeler down the center of the apple and twisted it about. This worked beautifully. 2. Next I combined 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a shake of allspice per apple. Throw a handful of raisins, walnuts, or dried cranberries in with the dried ingredients. 3. Put your cored apples in the Crock Pot and fill the centers of the apples with the spice mixture. 4. Next place a pat of butter on top of each apple. 5. Put ½ cup of water on the bottom of the Crock Pot. 6. Set the Crock Pot to the low setting and let it cook away.

Tips:
- Choose firm, tart apples that will hold their shape during cooking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
- Peel and core the apples, but leave the skin on for a more rustic look and added nutrition.
- Use a variety of spices to flavor the apples, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.
- Add a little bit of sugar or honey to the apples to help them caramelize.
- If you want a more decadent dessert, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to the top of the apples.
