Grandma’s secret weapon for Sunday dinner. Just 5 ingredients wrapped tight. The smell when you crack open the foil changes everything.

Slow Cooker Foil-Wrapped Baked Apples

Servings: 6

Ingredients

6 medium firm apples (such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith)

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

6 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 cup raisins or chopped walnuts (about 4 teaspoons per apple)

Directions

Line up 6 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap an apple completely. Lightly crumple and then flatten each piece so it’s easy to mold snugly around the apples later.

Wash and dry the apples. Use an apple corer or a small paring knife to carefully core each apple, removing the stem and seeds but leaving the bottom intact so the filling doesn’t leak out.

In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until you have a thick, sandy paste.
