Default Crosswind approach to landing.

This weekend, I was playing around with landing with a stiff crosswind (about 5 mph). My runway is east to west, approach was from the east and the wind was blowing from northwest to southeast.

I think I need to crank up more rudder deflection as I couldn't seem to get the plane to nose to the south. I got it down twice, but it was coming in sideways, hit the end of the runway at a 30 degree angle and came to a stop.

Any tips for crosswind approaches as far as the rudder usage or approach setup?

I take it more throttle than normal will be needed as the plane will be in a slip condition?

Thanks for any advice..
