Makès 6 bakèd applès
Prèp Timè: 15 minutès
Cook Timè: 3 hours
Total Timè: 3 hours, 15 minutès Yièld: 6 applès
Sèrving Sizè: 1 applè
Ingrèdiènts
• 1/4 cup brown sugar or 2 tablèspoons stèvia
• 1/4 cup walnuts, choppèd
• 2 tablèspoons buttèr, prèfèrably grassfèd
• 1 tèaspoon cinnamon
• 6 Gala or Macintosh applès, corèd
• 1/4 cup watèr or 2 tablèspoons applè cidèr vinègar
• 2 tablèspoons orangè liquor (optional)
Instructions
In a largè bowl, mix brown sugar or stèvia, walnuts, buttèr, and cinnamon. If you don’t want to usè walnuts, you could usè pècans or go nut-frèè by substituting with 1⁄4 cup choppèd raisins, prunès, or granola! Anothèr grèat substitution is 1⁄4 cup of rollèd quick oats moistènèd with a tablèspoon of watèr bèforè stuffing thè applès.
Usè a grapèfruit spoon that has thè sharp èdgès (or a small pairing knifè) and corè most of thè way through, I lèavè about 1⁄2 inch applè lèft at thè bottom. You could rèmovè thè skin but I find that it hèlps to hold thè applè togèthèr as it bakès – it also adds èxtra fibèr which is always a plus.
Fill thè applès with thè filling and placè thèm in thè crock-pot.Pour thè watèr or cidèr (and thè liquor, if using) into thè crock-pot, around thè applès.
Sèt thè crock-pot on high hèat and cook 21⁄2 to 3 hours until thè applès arè soft and bègin to collapsè. If you don’t havè a crockpot or slow cookèr, you can usè a 7×11 cassèrolè dish or stock pot. Prèhèat thè ovèn to 350F and covèr thè pan with aluminum foil. Thèy’ll takè about 45 minutès to onè hour, adding additional watèr (about 2 tablèspoons) half way through baking. A glass baking dish is also an option, just bè surè to lowèr thè hèat slightly 5-10 dègrèès sincè glass can causè food to burn.
If you’rè making this rècipè for a largè crowd, you could do thèsè in thè ovèn in a largè disposablè roasting pan and just doublè thè rècipè. Thèy also tastè dèlish with a scoop of frozèn vanilla yogurt or coconut icè crèam.You can rèfrigèratè thèsè for up to 3 days, but storè thèm in an air-tight containèr so thèy don’t pick up odors from thè fridgè.

Much has been said about the latest in the healthcare sector. Politicians' continue to bicker and have no solid plan to replace the current plan. Certain Analysts believe if this Trump Administration plan passes the Senate their proposal will leave over 23 million people without coverage by the year 2026. The Affordable Care Act law is and was simply put in place to help the American people who were once unable to get any type of coverage, finally get the care he or she may need. Secondly, it has also helped more than enough individuals with pre-existing conditions get coverage as well. And thirdly there is the concern of affordability; this is for people who do not have enough money to pay for insurance on their own, the current law provides financial assistance for those eligible to receive money from the government.
The problem with today's guidelines are the plans are based on: age, geographic location, the ability to pay, the rising cost of medical technology and taxes. Notice there is nothing mentioned about your overall health conditions. Until the underwriting process is brought back into the equation, then insurers' will never be able to accurately measure their risk and set premium prices at affordable rates. The message to insurers' is the fact that no one should be denied health insurance due to their finances or health related conditions to help protect against their financial losses when and if they occurred.
During this era a majority of insurance companies especially those that specialize in the health sector jumped on the band wagon with lower premiums knowing financial assistance would be there to help pay for coverage. Plans were and are designed to basically take the American peoples' money first before paying any claims. Once the claims began to come from more than enough people, then insurers' realized their premiums were set too low and began experiencing financial losses. There is no coincidence today why as consumers we hear about large health carriers pulling out of the marketplace and are no longer willing to participate this coming 2018 season under the ACA format.
The solution for consumers, we have to educate ourselves and grasp a good understanding and not listen to all the rhetoric in the media. We need a suite of insurance products to benefit us in the event there are some types of loss. Whether its a loss of life, the inability to work for certain period of time, or failing health our money needs to be protected at reasonable rates. Do this now while you are still healthy with the right kind of life and health insurance plans; underwriting is the key.
There are more than enough life and health insurance companies who offer benefits to protect your money. They never moved into this whole affordable care dilemma. Insurance today is still being sold on the premise of an individual's risk factors. These type of plans whether they are: accident, cancer, critical illness, dread disease, hospitalization, preventive care and wellness, also known as MEC (minimum essential coverage) or life insurance policies are and will always be available.
The Affordable Care Act is a good law that needs to be revised and not replaced. In today's environment of government uncertainty, why listen to such chaos? "People perish because of a lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6a. Now that you have been given this knowledge, perish not; be encouraged and do the right thing for your family and your finances.
