Crock Pot Baked Apples

Ok, I promised this recipe days ago after posting on Facebook about how delicious they were! Really, they were amazing. Perfect for a cool fall night. And to top it off, they were very easy to make.

This recipe is from The Skinny Chef:

Ingredients

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons trans-fat free margarine
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6 Gala or Macintosh apples, cored
1/2 cup apple juice or apple cider
2 tablespoons orange liquor (optional)

Directions

Preheat a large crock-pot on high heat and preset it for 3 hours. In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, walnuts, margarine, and cinnamon. Fill the apples with the filling and place them in the crock-pot. Pour in the apple juice or cider and the liquor, if using. Cover and cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours on high heat until the apples are soft and begin to collapse.

I finished this off by adding frozen vanilla yogurt and warm caramel sauce. Yum! The apples literally fell apart.
