These Foil-Wrapped Baked Apples are the essence of humble, heartfelt hospitality—tender apples stuffed with cinnamon, butter, and a touch of sweetness, steamed gently in their own juices inside snug foil packets. No oven. No mess. Just the slow cooker doing its quiet work while your home fills with the kind of warm, spiced aroma that makes everyone pause and sigh, “Is it ready yet?”
Born from frugal ingenuity and perfected over decades of Sunday suppers, this dessert proves that special doesn’t mean complicated.
