Categories     dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup rolled oats
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
4 large or 6 medium firm baking apples (such as Rome, Golden Delicious or Honey Crisp)

Vanilla ice cream and pure maple syrup, for serving

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.)

Tips

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
  • Don't peel the apples. The peel adds flavor and texture to the stuffing.
  • Add some nuts. Walnuts are a classic choice, but you could also use pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts.
  • Use fresh herbs. Sage, thyme, and rosemary are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the stuffing. It should be cooked through, but still have a little bit of a bite to it.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will help it to absorb all of the flavors.

Conclusion

Slow cooker apple walnut stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover apples and walnuts, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy cooks.
