Slow-Cooker Baked Apples

Wine Soaked Peaches

This is another recipe that just excites me! It is amazingly delicious, easy to prepare, a portable desert for a party, and a great gift. The longer you leave the peaches soaking the better they taste, but 1 hour is also good. You can use them to top ice cream, angel food cake, or just …
