General principles of making a quickie pie in a slow cooker
Pie in a multivariate is a separate topic for conversation. Some types of it are better in the oven, for example, cabbage pie. But the biscuit pies go better in the slow cooker, as they rise high and cannot be dried out.

2) No top heating. Because of this, it does not work with the dishes of the upper ruddy crust. But from this position experienced housewives out as follows:
• turn the cake on the other side and set for some time;
• sprinkled with powdered sugar or coated with cream, icing or chocolate chips;
• served toasted side up.
