Slow Cooking Thursday – Baked Apples with Cinnamon and Raisins
Maya loves (Loves!) baked apples. She likes them even better if I cook them, then put them in the freezer for a half hour or so, until they’re “cold, cold, really, really cold – please, Grammy!”
Go figure…
Here’s the slow cooker recipe I’ve found that turns out apples to please our Little Miss
You’ll need:
6 to 8 medium cooking apples
2 or 3 tablespoons raisins
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter or margerine
1/2 cup of apple juice
Core the apples and peel away the top 1/2 inch or so of apple peel.
Mix the raisins, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl;
fill the apples with this mixture.
Place the apples in the slow cooker, dot with the butter or margerine and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon.
Pour 1/2 cup apple juice around apples.
Cover and cook on LOW for about 6 hours, until apples are tender.
We like them warm with a bit of vanilla ice cream -
but who’s to say? Maybe you’ll find Maya’s “cold, very cold” freezer method worth a try…

This sounds really yummy and easy too!!
I love my slow cooker. But I cook baked apples in a corning ware in the microwave. This is only thing I cook that way. The apples come out soft enough to eat, but not so soft as to be mush. Personally, I love the smell but don’t like cooked apples. Such a shame!
I definitely need to try this one for my kids, they will LOVE it
Oh my, that sounds scrumptious! Can’t wait to make them.
thats so easy…I might try this for my princess.She loves apple.
thanks for sharing!
The put it in the freezer til its cold part reminds me of Grandma Ryder making us hot chocolate and then putting cold milk in mine. She was a good grandma!
