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.

INSTANT POT (PRESSURE COOKER) CRANBERRY APPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse cranberries in a colander and pick through them to ensure they are all good. (they should be firm and red)
• Core and cut the apples into large chunks.
• Juice the orange and pour it into a measuring cup. Top the juice off with water to make for 3/4 cup of total liquid.
• Into the insert of the Instant Pot, add the cranberries, apples, and the orange liquid.
• Ensure the seal is in place and lock the lid on the Instant Pot. Make sure the valve is set to seal and select Manual. Set the timer to 8 minutes.
• It should take less than 10 minutes to come to pressure. When the 8 cooking minutes have completed, let the pressure cooker come down naturally for 10 minutes.
• Then release any remaining pressure by moving the lid valve to open - be careful as the steam will be hot. Once all the pressure is released, open the lid. CAUTION STEAM WILL BE HOT!
• If you want the sauce to be a bit chunky, remove some cranberries from the insert and reserve to the side. Using an immersion blender, blend the cranberry apple mixture until it is your desired smoothness. Add any cranberry chunks back in if you reserved some to the side.
• Next, add 1/2 C honey to the mixture and taste test. Add more honey if too tart to your liking.
• Store in airtight containers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 30 days.
