This was very tasty. It is much like normal apple crisp, but of course, without the true "crisp". The topping just gets mushy, but that is to be expected. It is the best a slow cooker can do. The apples cooked up really yummy and the spices and such were just right. If you need a dessert and can't be around to tend to your oven, this works well! I enjoyed it with some vanilla ice cream on top. Would definitely make it again sometime.
