Time 4h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup rolled oats
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
4 large or 6 medium firm baking apples (such as Rome, Golden Delicious or Honey Crisp)
1 cup apple cider
Vanilla ice cream and pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the walnuts, cranberries, brown sugar, oats, butter, lemon juice, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and squeeze together until a wet and sandy mixture is formed.
  • Scoop the core out of each apple with a melon baller, taking care not to scoop completely through to the bottom or the sides. Stuff each apple with some of the cranberry-walnut mixture. Place the apples in the slow cooker insert and pour in the apple cider. Cover and cook on low until the apples are tender but still slightly firm, 3 to 4 hours depending on the size and type of apple. (If your apples are on the smaller size, check after 2 hours; they may cook faster.)
  • Serve each apple whole or cut in half in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Properly measure your ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results. This is especially important for baking, where precise measurements are essential.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your cake roll. Use fresh, ripe apples and cranberries, and make sure your walnuts are fresh and not rancid.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake roll. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake roll at the correct temperature: The cake roll should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Don't overfill the cake roll: When filling the cake roll, don't overfill it, or it will be difficult to roll up without cracking. Leave a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges of the cake.
  • Roll the cake roll up tightly: Once the cake roll is filled, roll it up tightly starting from one of the long sides. Use a piece of parchment paper to help you roll the cake roll up evenly.
  • Chill the cake roll before slicing: Before slicing the cake roll, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help the cake roll set and make it easier to slice.
