Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

tip 1
Choose a firm, tart apple variety for this recipe, such as Granny Smith.
tip 2
Be sure to cut apples into even 1/2-inch slices—too thick, and they won't be tender enough; too thin, and they might turn to mush in the slow cooker.
tip 3
Swap old-fashioned oats for quick-cooking oats, if desired.
tip 4
Serve with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
tip 5
Keeping the cover off the slow cooker for 30 minutes after cooking helps to evaporate any excess liquid as the crisp cools.
