Slow Cooker Foil-Wrapped Baked Apples
These Slow Cooker Foil-Wrapped Baked Apples are a cozy, old-fashioned dessert filled with buttery brown sugar, warm cinnamon, and a touch of raisins or nuts. Slowly cooked until tender, each apple creates its own sweet caramel-like sauce inside the foil packet. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples firm varieties such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 6 tbsp brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins or chopped walnuts about 4 teaspoons per apple
Instructions
- Prepare six large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap an apple completely.
- Wash and dry the apples, then carefully core each one while keeping the bottom intact.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until it forms a thick paste.
- Place one apple in the center of each foil sheet and fill the hollow center with the butter-sugar mixture and raisins or walnuts.
- Wrap each apple tightly in foil, sealing the top so the juices stay inside.
- Place the foil-wrapped apples upright in a snug single layer in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours until the apples are very tender.
- Let the apples rest for about 10 minutes before carefully opening the foil packets.
- Serve warm, spooning the cinnamon butter sauce from the foil over the apples.
Notes
These baked apples are delicious topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
