I used tinned cranberries and loved that these go into the crock pot - my results was fabulous !!

Yum yum yummy!!! :) I made just one today in my tiny crockpot and had it for my lunch. Sharon this is fabulous! When you do just one it only takes about 2 1/2 hours. Fabulous treat for fresh fall apples!

Great combination of flavors! My only problem is that the apples turned completely into much even before 4 hours went by... and I made sure to use nice, sturdy Granny Smiths! Perhaps my crock pot settings run a bit higher? I ended up with a cranberry-walnut-applesauce, really... but it was so good anyway! My guests spooned the warm "sauce" over vanilla ice cream, and devoured it. I'll try making this again, but will make sure to keep a much more watchful eye on the apples. I may even just try baking this in the oven, but in any case the filling ingredients are perfect!
