A delightful dessert featuring tender apples filled with a spiced nut and dried fruit mixture, slow-cooked to perfection.
Core the apples, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom to create a cavity.
Ensure the cavity is deep enough to hold the filling without piercing through the bottom.
Peel the top inch of each apple and brush with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Brushing with lemon juice not only prevents browning but also adds a slight tang to the flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter to form the filling.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the butter coats the dry ingredients evenly for a cohesive filling.
Stuff each apple with the prepared filling, pressing gently to pack it in.
Overfill slightly as the filling will settle during cooking.
Pour the water into the crockpot and arrange the stuffed apples inside.
Ensure the apples are upright and stable to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until the apples are tender.
Check the apples occasionally to ensure they are not overcooked and maintain their shape.
Serve the apples warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving with ice cream adds a delightful contrast of warm and cold textures.
