Ingredients
- 6 large apples
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¼ cup Chopped Pecans
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- Optional, for serving: Greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, additional chopped nuts, granola, oatmeal, caramel sauce
Instructions
- Core apples.
- In a small bowl, combine raisins and nuts.
- Fill centers of apples with nut mixture. Since there is a hollow center in the apples, I find that it's easiest to hold the apple in the palm of one hand (blocking the bottom opening) and use a spoon to push the oats into the top of the apple. Then just slide the apple from the palm of your hand directly into the slow cooker -- nothing will fall out the bottom!
- Place apples in 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
- Next, combine the brown sugar, water, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Heat and boil for about 5 minutes, whisking regularly, until syrup thickens. Pour syrup over apples in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 2-4 hours or on HIGH for 1 ½ - 2 hours (or until apples reach desired softness).
- To serve, place apples on plates or in bowls. Spoon syrup over apples. Garnish with optional toppings.
Notes

- SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
- Granny Smith
- Honey Crisp (shown here)
- Jazz
- Braeburn
- Fuji
- Gala
- Use an apple corer to remove the core from all 6 apples in about 30 seconds! If you don't have this tool, try a sharp paring knife.
- Try using chopped walnuts, peanuts, or almonds instead of the pecans.
- Add oats to the nut and raisin mixture to make these baked apples with oatmeal!
- Have leftovers? I like to make a batch of baked apples over the weekend, and then store the apples in individual containers in my refrigerator. During the week, I can easily reheat the apples in the microwave in about 2 minutes and enjoy them for quick breakfasts, snacks, or desserts!
- For breakfast, make the baked apples healthy by adding a serving of protein in the form of Greek yogurt on top! You can also garnish with additional chopped nuts or granola for some crunch.
- Nothing beats the combination of baked apples with oatmeal! You can prepare a batch of oatmeal to serve alongside your apple, you can chop up your baked apples and mix them into a pot of oatmeal, or you can add oats right into the raisin-pecan mixture for stuffing.
- For dessert, try serving the baked apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. I love to add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top, too!
