The whole house smells like October while these cook. Gala apples hold their shape, and the oat-walnut filling turns into something between streusel and candy.

6 servings or type

6 large Gala apples

½ cup Brown sugar

½ cup Walnuts, chopped

¼ cup Old-fashioned rolled oats

2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon

¾ cup Apple juice

to taste Vanilla ice cream

Steps

Trim about half an inch from the stem end of each apple; scoop out the cores with a melon baller, keeping the bottoms and sides intact.
Stir the brown sugar, walnuts, oats, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon; fill each apple.
Set the apples filling side up in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker; pour in the apple juice. Cover and cook on high 2 hours or low 4 hours, until tender.
Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream if you are feeling it.

Tip: Buy apples by the bag in season. Eat the crispest ones fresh, and send the softer ones to the slow cooker, applesauce, or a crisp.
