Life on Food: Slow Cooker Baked Apples

I have been giving way too much attention to pumpkin this fall.? I think for every one apple recipe posted there have been at least three pumpkin.? My apologies.? I actually love apples but eat them just plain.? Raw.? Delicious.

Last week Mr. J was in Alaska.? All week.? I hate Alaska.? Not only was he gone but talking is nearly impossible with the time difference.? He was getting done at work just as I was climbing into bed.? 5 minutes conversations just aren't enough.? He is back now so enough of that...the point is I was by myself.? Bored.? I couldn't really cook because when I cook massive amounts of food accumulate.? Instead I played on the internet until I found something suitable.??

Slow Cooker = Easy

Apples = Healthy

Brown Sugar and Walnuts = Smile

These were super quick and easy to get prepped.? Then all I did was turn on the slow cooker for 3 hours. ?

You could call this dessert but I called it the most perfect fall snack.? Breakfast is also very much an option.? I had these baked apples for both.

Enjoy!?
