Why do you use a paper towel for Crockpot Apple Cobbler?

This is a great crockpot hack that prevents condensation from dripping back on the food.  It helps your cobbler to stay nice and crisp and not soggy.

Can you make Crockpot Apple Cobbler as Ninja Foodi Apple Cobbler?

This recipe for Crockpot Apple Cobbler can also be adapted to your Ninja Foodi using the “slow cooker” function as well.  I cooked it on high for 4 hours with the Ninja Foodi.

When I made it in the Ninja Foodi, I did have to bake for a few minutes, in the end, to get the top browned.

If you enjoy this, though, be sure to check out this Ninja Foodi Apple Crisp. 

Can you make this Crockpot Cobbler with different flavors?

Crockpot Cobbler can be made with basically any flavor that you prefer, using the pie filling of your choice.  One of my favorites is Caramel Apple Pie Filling.

It can be made with peach, cherry, lemon, whichever you want to do!

Quick Tips:

• Top it with pecans or walnuts for a crunchy topping.
• Mix it up with a variety of different pie fillings if preferred.
• Don’t skip the paper towel; it prevents the cobbler from becoming soggy.

How do you store leftovers?

Store leftovers, if you have them, in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to reheat, add a portion to a microwave-safe plate and reheat in 30-second intervals until warm.

Crockpot Apple Cobbler uses pantry ingredients to make a wonderful, easy dessert that is great for the family, a party, or even a potluck!
