I fell in love with cooking as a little girl, sitting on the counter, helping Mom cook. That shared love of cooking is what this blog is all about. I want this to be a place where we can all share and learn from each other all our favorite recipes, kitchen tips, and more. From how to fry an egg to Grandma's tried and true classics to your favorite olive oil. I hope everyone enjoys the blog, has fun with it, and will contribute your own ideas.

Slow Cooker Cinnamon Apples

Can't remember where I found this, but I am pretty sure it was from pinterest.... as most of my recipes are lately! This was super easy and delicious, plus it was really decent calorie for a dessert, plus it is super healthy.
Slow cooker cinnamon apples

1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup walnuts
2 T butter
1 tsp cinnamon
4 apples, cored
1/2 cup apple juice or cider

 Preheat crock pot on high. In a bowl mix maple syrup, walnuts, butter, and cinnamon. Pour apple juice/cider into crock pot and place the cored apples in. Spoon the mixture into the middle of each apple until full. Cover and cook for 3 hours or until apples are soft and start to collapse. Serve warm. 

 You could serve these with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and they would be delicious, but they are fantastic by themselves. It breaks down to 262 calories per apple. Plus it makes your house smell FANTASTIC. Low cal, healthy, delicious, easy, and house smells good.. can't get better than that.
