I make stuffed apples in my slow cooker! Yummy!

Just get some apples, take the cores out and stuff with mixed fruit and a bit of sugar and then stick in the slow cooker! Also nice with chocolate buttons stuffed in but I'm trying to avoid chocolate at the moment.

What if you want to make something smaller than the slow cooker have you ever out a dish inside the fish that it comes with if that makes sense ? Like a bowl ??

I have done and old fashioned enamel dish I filled main dish with some water then put enamel dish in. Don't often have to make small portions.

you can also make little balls of tinfoil and place on the bottom of the slowcooker and then put your smaller dish on top and they will still conduct the heat xx
