Notes

Tips

Layer two sheets of paper towel between the crisp and the slow cooker lid. This little trick catches the steam that condenses on the inside of the lid during cooking from dripping back down into the crock and making the topping soggy.

Serving

In case you're entertaining or serving a crowd, one of the extra magical aspects of this hands-free dessert recipe is that you can prep, cook, and serve it all out of the same vessel! Set the slow cooker to "keep warm" add a spoon, and you're ready to party.

Storage

Store any leftover dessert in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for up to five days. Do not place the slow cooker in the refrigerator.
