Preparation

Step 1

Place a small mixing bowl in the refrigerator until needed.

Place the apples, skin side down, in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker and dot with the butter. Mix the orange juice and vinegar and pour over top.

Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours or until the apples are soft but still hold their shape. Remove to a plate. Pour the juice from the cooker into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil for 3 to 4 minutes or until the liquid is thick and syrupy. Set aside.

Whip the milk and maple syrup in the chilled bowl with an electric mixer on high speed for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened.

Top each apple half with 1 1/2 tablespoons of maple cream and drizzle with 1 tablespoon reserved fruit syrup.
