Incredible Slow Cooker Stuffing with Apples, Cranberries, and Pecans. Easy crockpot method that frees up the oven on Thanksgiving and is great for a crowd! The edges of this stuffing become delightfully golden and crisp all the way around while cooking, so be sure to scoop the servings so that you get a bit of them with every bite. The top of the stuffing won't be *as* crisp as stuffing baked in the oven (though placing a towel under the slow cooker lid to absorb moisture as the directions suggest helps), but the stuffing's large expanse of golden edges, in my stuffing-loving opinion, make up for it.
