I am excited about this new challenge as it will teach me to cook with two items that I may have over looked at one time or another. I searched through lots of recipes believe it or not to find one that had both Apples and Caramel. Alot of my recipes had one or the other, but not both.
Hot Caramel Apples (crock-pot)
from Taste of Home
4 large tart apples, cored
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
12 red-hot candies
1/4 cup butter
8 caramels
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Whipped cream, optional
Peel about 3/4 in. off the top of each apple; place in a slow cooker. Fill the center of each apple with 2 tablespoons of sugar, three red-hots, 1 tablespoon butter and two caramels. Pour juice over apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the apples are tender. Serve immediately with whipped cream if desired.
Fantastic! I've seen crockpot apples floating around and really wanted to try them. I'm pinning you now :)

This might be a silly question Tina....but is your crock pot lined with plastic? If so...why? What kind? Is it only for this recipe? I've never seen that before and am wondering what I'm missing. THANKS!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG..gotta do these!
