How to Make Baked Stuffed Apples With Apple Pie Spice
- Preheat your slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup raisins and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Mix well.
- Core 6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) leaving about 1/2 inch of the bottom intact for stability.
- Stand the cored apples upright in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Evenly spoon the raisin-sugar mixture into the centers of the cored apples.
- Sprinkle each apple generously with 1 teaspoon apple pie spice.
- Dot each apple with 1 teaspoon of butter.
- Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the slow cooker, around the apples (this prevents sticking and adds moisture).
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-5 hours, or on high for 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours, or until the apples are tender but not mushy. Check for doneness by inserting a fork – it should go in easily.
- Serve warm! Enjoy as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of frozen yogurt for an extra touch of indulgence.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
