What size crockpot would work for this recipe? A 6 qt or would it work in the 3.5 casserole one?
Thank you!!

Hi Pam ~ The one used here is a 4.5 qt. I would think that it would work with either but the cooking time may change. Hope that helps! 🙂

What would be the best apples to use?
Bridgett - PPP Team says
I would probably go with Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Golden Delicious. We can’t wait to hear that you think! 🙂

You mention butter but not how much. Would be helpful if you would do this.
Katelyn Jones- PPP Team says
The recipe calls for half a cup of butter! You should be able to see the measurements for each ingredients at the bottom of the recipe where it lists all the ingredients included. I hope that helps. Happy baking!
