Ingredients
- 6 whole Apples (e.g., Gala, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
- 0.5 cup Red cinnamon candies (e.g., Red Hots)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Water
- 1 pint Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and core the apples, being careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Leave about 1/2 inch of the apple intact at the base to hold the filling.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.
Step 3
Fill each cored apple with about 1-2 teaspoons of the brown sugar mixture and top each with a small pat of butter (approx. 1/4-1/2 teaspoon).
Step 4
Place the stuffed apples upright in the crock pot, ensuring they fit snugly so they remain upright while cooking.
Step 5
Sprinkle the red cinnamon candies evenly over and around the apples in the crock pot.
Step 6
Pour the water into the bottom of the crock pot, being careful not to pour it directly over the apples.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 8
Once cooked, carefully remove the apples from the crock pot using a slotted spoon and transfer them to serving dishes.
Step 9
Drizzle some of the warm cinnamon-candy syrup from the bottom of the crock pot over each apple.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added decadence. Enjoy!
