Directions
- Wash the apples.
- Core most of the way through each apple, using a hand-held potato peeler (this worked best for me!) or a small pairing knife. I left about ½ inch apple at the bottom.
- You could remove the skin, but I don't, as it helps hold the apple together as it bakes.
- In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, nuts, margarine or butter, and cinnamon to make the filling.
- Stuff the apples with the filling. 
- Place them in the crock-pot.
- Pour the apple juice or cider into the crock-pot, around the apples. 
- Set the crock-pot on high heat and cook for 2.5 hours, or until the apples are soft and begin to collapse.
- If you don’t have a crock-pot, you can use a casserole dish. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour.
Tips
- There are several alternatives to the nuts. You could try substituting with chopped raisins, prunes, granola, or rolled quick oats (moistened with 1 ½ tbsp water before stuffing the apples).
- If you don’t have apple juice or cider, you could use apple lime juice or apple vinegar (diluted with water and a little sugar) instead.
- Try eating it with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt!
