How to Make Baked Stuffed Apples With Walnuts Or Pecans

1. Preheat your slow cooker.
2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans with 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3. Core 6 medium-sized apples (such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji) leaving about 1/2 inch of the bottom intact for stability.
4. Stand the cored apples upright in the slow cooker.
5. Spoon the nut-sugar mixture evenly into the centers of the apples.
6. Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed apples with an additional 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon and dot each apple with 1 teaspoon of butter.
7. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the slow cooker, around the apples (not on top).
8. 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 gently inserting a fork into the thickest part of an apple.
9. Serve warm. Optional: Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
