Savory Rice-Stuffed Apples image

My family has several apple trees, so I am challenged to create new recipes each fall. This side dish is wonderful with pork roast and so effortless due to the use of the slow cooker. -Roxanne Chan, Albany, California

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

The apples were a bit too tart for my taste, but the rice stuffing was delicious. I think next time I'll use a sweeter variety of apple.

Savory rice-stuffed apples were a hit! They looked beautiful and tasted even better. The rice stuffing was savory and flavorful, and the apples were perfectly cooked - tender but still held their shape. Definitely making this again!
