6 cooking apples, peeled, slice

1 cup sugar

1/2 cups water
1/4 cups port wine
sour cream , (low fat)

APPLE CRANBERRY CRISP

* 3 apples (Any kind - I personally like Gala)
* 1 cup cranberries
* 3/4 cup brown sugar
* 1/3 cup rolled oats (quick cooking)
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1 tsp. cinnamon
* 1/3 cup butter, softened
Peel, core and slice apples. Place apple slices and cranberries in cp. Mix remaining ingredients in separate bowl and sprinkle over top of apple and cranberries. Place 4 or 5 paper towels over the top of the crockpot, place an object (I use a wooden spoon) across the top of the crockpot and set lid on top. This allows the steam to escape. Turn crockpot on high and cook for about 2 hours.
Serves 4.

APPLE DATE PUDDING

* 4-5 apples, peeled, cored and diced
* 3/4 cup sugar, or less, to taste
* 1/2 cup chopped dates
* 1/2 cup toasted, chopped pecans
* 2 tbs. flour
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1/8 tsp. salt
* 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
* 2 tbs. melted butter
* 1 egg, beaten
In the slow cooker, place apples, sugar, dates and pecans; stir. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and stir into apple mixture. Drizzle melted butter over batter and stir. Stir in egg. Set cooker on low and cook for 3 to 4 hours. Serve warm.
NOTE: If crispier nuts are desired, add toasted pecans at the end of cooking period.
