Crock-Pot Cooking Tips

Make sure your slow cooker is large enough to fit the cobbler. A slow cooker with a capacity of 4 to 6 quarts should be suitable for this recipe.
To prevent sticking, you can either grease the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or use a liner.
To cook the cobbler, set your slow cooker to low heat and let it cook for 2-4 hours. Keep in mind that the cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker, so check on it after 2 hours.
The cobbler is ready when the edges turn golden brown and the center is set.
To determine if the cobbler is fully cooked, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, the cobbler is ready!
