Ingredients for slow cooker baked apples

4 small Bramley apples, cored (Other firm varieties of apples like Granny Smith or Gala also work well)

4 level tablespoons of mincemeat

1 tablespoon of runny honey

zest and juice of 1 large orange

½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon of ground ginger

Method

Start by carefully removing the core of each apple and set the apples aside. In a mixing bowl, mix together the mincemeat, runny honey, orange zest and juice and the spices until everything is combined well.

Next carefully spoon the mixture into the cored apples, then place them inside your slow cooker. Then cook your stuffed apples on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 hours.

When cooked, carefully transfer the apples to a serving dish, then pour over the cooking juices from the bottom of the slow cooker.

Finally, serve your festive slow cooker baked apples hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or plain yoghurt on the side.
