Directions
Crock Pot Baked Apples,Old-fashioned comfort food that looks after itself until you’re ready to serve it! Enjoy Baked Apples in summer without heating up the kitchen, or at any time of the year. Adapted from a recipe in Betty Crocker’s “Slow Cooker Cookbook”. If you are planning to make this recipe, please read Rita’s experience with this recipe, and my notes below.,Me again..I wonder…if fresh cranberries and maybe fresh cherries or a combo might work? See my “mom’s Cranberry Cookies”. Calls for fresh cranberries and I suppose dried would work but fresh have that beautiful tartnes.,I made this today using large granny smith apples and cider. The apples were cooking 2 1/2 hours on low, and were not ready, I turned them up to high and they were done 1/2 hour later. I thickened the cider with a little arrow root mixed in water. The sauce was delicious I dribbled a little brandy in it, and served them with whipped cream, Yum :). I’ll definately will be making these again. Thanks for the recipe.

How Ironic My Introductory Words: "looks After Itself". True, but It Seems Crock Pots Sometimes Have Minds of Their Own and Produce Something Other Than What We Had Planned For Them to Make! from Reading Many Reviews on Zaar, I've Come to the Conclusion That the Results from Crock Pot Recipes Are Sometimes More Unpredictable Than Recipes Made in Other Ways. Ive not Had Anything Like Ritas Experience on This Occasion, but Rather the Opposite, Which Is of Course Easier to Deal With: Ive Several Times Had to Continue Cooking on Low or to Raise the Setting to High With Other Crock Pot Recipes. and I've at Times Cooked Crock Pot Recipes For Hours Longer Than Was Specified, Which Has Left Me Wondering How Similar or Different the Low Setting Is on Different Brands of Crock Pot. Ritas Experience Suggests That the Cooking Time Needs to Be Seriously Adjusted So Until I Have a Chance to Check Out This Recipe and Report Back, Which I Will Do Very Soon, Im Changing the Cooking Time from the Four to Six Hours Suggested in the Original Recipe to Two to Three Hours, or Until the Apples Are Tender. I Thank Rita For So Graciously Accepting the Unforeseen Fate of Her Beautiful Apples. Such an Enticing Before Picture! and When She Looked Into Her Crock Pot - Her Second Picture - After Three Hours Cooking: What a Shock! Im Just So Glad That She Hadnt Gone Off For Six Hours and Left Her Apples and the Crock Pot to Do Their Own Thing - and I'm So Pleased That at Least the Cooked Apple Sauce Was Delicious. |
