Crock-Pot Baked Apples are a warm, comforting dessert. Tender apples filled with a spiced, buttery oat mixture slow-cook to perfection. Serve them with ice cream and caramel for an irresistible finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 4 apples
  • Ice cream, for serving
  • Caramel sauce, warmed, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped pecans, oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and a pinch of kosher salt until combined. This creates your slow cooker apple filling.
  2. Slice off the top of each apple and carefully scoop out the core using a melon baller, creating a hollow space for the filling. This prepares the apples for your Crock-Pot apple dessert.
  3. Stuff each apple with the butter and oat mixture, pressing it down gently to fill completely, then place the apples upright in the slow cooker. This is how to make Crock Pot baked apples.
  4. Cook the apples until tender. Use the high setting for about 2 hours or the low setting for about 5 hours. This is the key to perfectly slow cooked apples recipe.
  5. Serve the baked apples warm, topped with ice cream and a drizzle of warmed caramel sauce. Enjoy your easy Crock Pot apple recipe.

Notes

  • Choose firm, crisp apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith for best results when making Crock-Pot baked apples.
  • Adjust spices according to your taste preference; nutmeg or allspice can be good additions to your slow cooked apples.
  • The slow cooker settings may vary; check apple tenderness starting at the minimum time suggested for your Crock-Pot apple dessert.
  • Leftover filling can be used as a topping for oatmeal or yogurt.
  • Use gluten-free oats if you need this recipe to be gluten-free.
  • Store leftover baked apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a low oven until warmed through. Add fresh ice cream and caramel before serving again.
