Very, very yummy...semi-healthy (at least healthier than an apple pie) and they were a HUGE hit with everyone at our Thanksgiving dinner. We served them with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with some of the leftover sauce in the crockpot.
I prepared/cored the apples and soaked them in orange juice over night- that only added to the hint of orange you get from the liquor. Make sure they don't over cook! I'd say 2 hours in a "newer" crockpot is enough-
