Slow cooker spiced apples with barley

Step 1

Heat the slow cooker if necessary. Put the barley and 750ml boiling water into the slow cooker. Peel and core the apples so you have a hole the size of a pound coin in each one. Cut each apple in half.

Step 2

Stand the apples skin side down on the barley. Mix the cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest, and sprinkle them over the apples.

Step 3

Cook on Low for 2 hours. Serve with natural yogurt.
