One of the slow cooker cookbooks that I use frequently is Slow Cooker: The Best Cookbook Ever by Diana Phillips. I haven’t found one yet that we did not enjoy.
I really like this Maytag Blue and Walnut Dip with Apple Dippers. It is full of flavor and can be a nice change from chips and dip.
Maytag Blue Cheese ranks among the world’s great cheeses.
Maytag Blue and Walnut Dip with Apple Dippers.
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Ruby Port (I subbed apple cider.)
6 drops Tabasco
1 cup chopped walnuts (I prefer to toast them.)
2 cups crumbled Maytag blue cheese (or your favorite brand)
4 to 6 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into 8 wedges each, for serving (I like to use both red and green apples at Christmas.)
Crackers, optional
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Ruby Port (I subbed apple cider.)
6 drops Tabasco
1 cup chopped walnuts (I prefer to toast them.)
2 cups crumbled Maytag blue cheese (or your favorite brand)
4 to 6 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into 8 wedges each, for serving (I like to use both red and green apples at Christmas.)
Crackers, optional
Coat the insert of a 1 1/2-3 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Put the cream cheese, mayonnaise, port, Tabasco, walnuts and blue cheese in a mixing bowl and stir until well blended.
Transfer the mixture to the slow-cooker insert. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, until heated through and bubbly.
Serve from the cooker set on warm with the apple wedges and crackers.
Serves 8.

Merry Christmas! This recipe looks divine. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a wonderful holiday. Be safe!
This is one dip I haven’t made. Sounds awesome. I love to dip with apples, too. Nice crunch!
