No Guilt Slow Cooker Pumpkin Stuffed Apples

One of my best family memories is the time when we all went apple picking in Massachusetts. The air was cool, the kids were happy, and we left that day with arms full of delicious freshly picked apples. I cling to that memory often, especially the days when I’m still sweating in my 90 degree Florida heat. Can send your fall down this way, please? With it officially October, I’m obsessively overusing and overeating everything pumpkin. And with the apples in their prime at my local Publix, I’m ready to celebrate fall with these No Guilt Slow Cooker Pumpkin Stuffed Apples. Perfect for those wanting to watch their sugar intake (yay for clean eating!) but still enjoy a perfect fall dessert, these apples are a delicious indulgence that the whole family can get behind.
