Before we start, here are a few common questions about baking apples…

Do You Have to Peel Apples Before Baking?

Nope!  No peeling is necessary… the skin will soften as they bake.

How Do You Prepare Apples For Baking?

It’s actually really easy!  Using a sharp knife, you’ll core your apples.

Once that’s done, you’ve got the perfect hole to fill them up with tasty ingredients!

How Do You Make Baked Apples With Cinnamon?

Well… you can use your oven, but I LOVE using my crockpot to make baked apples.

The slow cooking method results in the most tender, delicious treats!

After you’ve cored your apples, you’ll just mix together brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and allspice, then load up the incredible mixture into your baked apples.

Then you’ll top them off with a pat of butter, put the lid on your crockpot, and let your slow cooker do the work for you!

    When you core the apples, do you go all the way through? So there is a hole in the bottom of the apple? Does the stuffing not fall out?

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Stephanie ~ when coring the apple, you’ll just want to go down about 1/2 – 3/4 of the way, leaving the bottom of the apple in tact so the filling doesn’t fall out. Hope that helps! 🙂

      1. Stephanie says:

        Yes, thank you!

  2. Christie says:

    What a fantastic idea to make an apple dessert in the crockpot! Just set it and forget it and you have some delicious baked apples without having to turn on the oven heat too!!

    1. Heidi says:

      I know, right? It’s almost too easy, Christie! And you won’t believe how AMAZING your home will smell as they bake! 🙂

  3. Joan says:

    Is it necessary to refrigerate leftovers?

    1. Heidi says:

      Hi Joan ~ I would recommend refrigerating leftovers in an airtight container. Then they can be reheated in the microwave the next day. Hope that helps! 🙂
