- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Ideal slow cooker size: 4-Quart.

- In a small bowl, stir together the gingersnap cookie crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon and half of the lemon juice.
- Fill the apple cavities evenly with the gingersnap cookie crumb mixture.
- Place the stuffed apples in the slow cooker. Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the apples and then pour the apple juice over them.
- Dot the apples evenly with the bits of butter and drizzle with the honey.
