Yes, if you want to use a crockpot you can! I prefer the instant pot because it's so much faster. If you use a crockpot set the timer to high for about u003cstrongu003e4 hoursu003c/strongu003e. Check if they're done by sticking a fork in an apple slice! You can also cook them low and slow for u003cstrongu003e6 hoursu003c/strongu003e.
