Steps:
- Combine the walnuts, cranberries, brown sugar, oats, butter, lemon juice, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and squeeze together until a wet and sandy mixture is formed.
- Scoop the core out of each apple with a melon baller, taking care not to scoop completely through to the bottom or the sides. Stuff each apple with some of the cranberry-walnut mixture. Place the apples in the slow cooker insert and pour in the apple cider. Cover and cook on low until the apples are tender but still slightly firm, 3 to 4 hours depending on the size and type of apple. (If your apples are on the smaller size, check after 2 hours; they may cook faster.)
- Serve each apple whole or cut in half in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.

BAKED APPLES STUFFED WITH CRANBERRIES AND ALMONDS
Serve these tender apples with a sweet-tart filling alongside roasted turkey or pork, a delicious pairing with the apples' hint of cardamom - though you could substitute cinnamon. They make a great stuffing alternative for those who don't eat wheat or gluten. They're also tasty for breakfast, snack or dessert -- perhaps with whipped cream.

BAKED APPLE WITH CRANBERRIES
I had this for breakfast this morning. My internet was off and I couldn't look up baked apples so I made this one up. I enjoyed it so I thought I would post it. I used brown sugar substitute, but you can used regular brown sugar. I kept it low in both sweet and butter but you can add more if you want. I baked it in a toaster oven at 350°F for 30 minutes. If you use sweetened cranberries, I would cut back on the sugar. Substitute margarine for butter and this is a vegetarian recipe.

Steps:
- Chop marzipan into small chunks and mix with the cranberries, flaked almonds and honey.
- Core apples and mark a line around the circumference of each using a sharp knife. Set the apples in a shallow ovenproof dish that fits them snugly and stuff the cavities with the cranberry mix.
- Pour the water into the dish. Bake at fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5 for 30-40 minutes until the apples are tender. Cool for 10 minutes before serving with custard or clotted cream.
Tips:
- Choose firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Chop the almonds finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the filling.
- If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or brown sugar.
- Serve the baked apples warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
