This morning we woke up to Slow Cooker Baked Apples in the Grain Free Meal Plan. Even if you are a morning person, waking up to a hot cooked cinnamon-sweet breakfast is a welcome treat! For those who are not morning people, having something ready to serve the kids first thing is decadent!
Slow Cooker Baked Apple Recipe
Ingredients:
6 medium to large green apples
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon (Buy Organic Herbs and Spices here)
6 tablespoons coconut oil, butter, or ghee
Slow Cooker Baked Apple Instructions:
Core apples. To core, using an apple corer or paring knife, cut around the core (about ¼ inch from the stem all the way around) but leave about half an inch at the bottom. Use the knife to ‘drill out’ the core.
Divide raisins, honey, cinnamon, and coconut oil between the apples.
Place apples in a crock pot and add ½ inch of water. Cook on low overnight and enjoy a hot breakfast in the morning!
Alternatively, bake covered at 350 degrees in a glass dish for 45 minutes-1 hour in the morning.
Top with with cream, yogurt, coconut milk, or just eat plain.

Just came across your site and am so glad I did! This recipe is brilliant! What a wonderful way to start the day!
I love baked apples, but have never thought of doing them in the slow cooker! Brilliant!
Wow, this looks wonderful! I’ll have to try it out!
Always nice to come across a recipe for a healthy sweet treat. The fact that its made in the crockpot makes it all the better.
Great recipe idea for breakfast. I bet it’s also nice to wake up to the smell of baked apples and cinnamon.
If I had some apples on me I would do this right now. This is a great idea! I can make a “free breakfast” with my crockpot doing this as a college student. THANKS for the idea. You’re just full of them :)
GREAT idea… the kids and I love baked apples. It has never crossed my mind to use the crock pot.. Thanks for the idea/recipe!!
I made these for breakfast last week and they were amazing! My husband had two for breakfast and one as a snack later on in the day! It’s been nice to have something different from the constant eggs and this is much simpler than trying to whip of almond flour muffins or the like. I just got them going for breakfast tomorrow and can’t wait!
Looks like a great recipe – can’t wait to try it. Any way to cut down on the amount of butter/fat? Also – anyone know if the oil/butter can be replaced with other types of fat?
These sound delicious! It’s apple season right now at the Farmers’ Market. I think I’ll make this dish in my crock pot.
Just found your site. I can’t wait to try these. I am thinking they might be great as a dessert, too.
I have a question–my crock pot is not round, it is oval and so the surface area is much larger. Do the apples need to fit snugly in the crock pot? Thank you!
Hooray! Finally a clue appears as to what I’ve been doing wrong.
I’ve been making baked apple in the crock pot occasionally over that last couple of months, but they always tasted (to me, at least) a little off/burnt. Now, I know to add a bit of water. (Uh…yeah…that never occurred to me. /sigh)
Thank you, Cara!!!!!
This is such a lovely recipe! We had them for dessert last night and, with some vanilla ice cream, they tasted like a deconstructed apple pie! Ours fell apart a little, but the taste was still wonderful.
MADE THESE LAST NIGHT ON WAY TO BED!! WOKE TO THAT WONDERFUL AROMA AND THEY ARE YUMMY!! ITS ON MY FACEBOOK AND SEVERAL ARE TRYING THE RECIPE OUT!! THANKS
In the Crock pot now :) cant wait to eat them :)
Question! Can I use small apples to get more servings, or can I cut up the apples instead of the way you prepare them? These would be great for our work birthday snack day, but I need more servings, and I love the idea of just using very small apples so everyone can still get their own apple!
