Crockpot Apple Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup Flour
1 cup Sugar
2 tsp. Baking powder
2 tsp. Ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. Salt
4-6 Medium apples, chopped
2 Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
½ cup Walnuts, if desired
In bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in apples, coating lightly.
In separate bowl, mix eggs and vanilla. Pour into apple mixture. Stir until just moistened.
Spoon into a lightly greased crockpot. Cover and bake on high about 3 hours.
Serve warm (although my hubby likes it cold, too) with whipped cream or ice cream on top. Feel free to add a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
Notes: See, I told you it was super easy! Add more or less apple, depending on preference. We did six, and there was a happy balance of cake and apple pieces, but that’s just us.

April 22, 2013 at 5:14 pmI love apple, too! Especially when they go on sale, or neighbors with trees have a surplus they’re happy to share. Then it’s even better!

April 24, 2013 at 9:09 pmCan I just say that is the best looking cake to come out of a crock pot! Yum-o! Thanks for sharing on Show Me Your Plaid Monday’s!
Danielle Reeves says
April 25, 2013 at 8:47 pmOh you’re so sweet! I was honestly amazed it came out so pretty….crock pots aren’t exactly the best for ‘attractive’ food 😀

January 30, 2014 at 9:57 pmI substituted fresh strawberries for apples and left out the nuts – amazing. Hubby loved it. Going to try frozen cherries next.
Danielle Reeves says
February 15, 2014 at 8:10 amI love strawberries, so that sounds fabulous! I’m so glad it works with many things 😀

June 8, 2014 at 12:17 pmHi, I am always trying to fine new recipes to make in myslow cooker. I have made apple sauce but never a cake I until now. My husband and I loves apple cake and is looking forward to trying this recipe of yours. So in 2 hours and 54 minutes we will see if this is a method we will try in the future. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I will check back with the results. My slower is about big one so I hope 3 hours will be okay. Thank you!
Danielle says
June 9, 2014 at 2:15 pmWhat a perfect march for you, then! 🙂
AnGEL says
June 8, 2014 at 9:20 pmI love this recipe. The cake turned out great only had three granny smith apples left so I just used what I had. It was more than enough apples. I think six would have been too much. Next time I will double the cake mix part of the recipe, I would like to have a little more cake than apple ratio. I have a strong feeling I will be making this cake again by mid week, it will be gone once my husband get to it. :-). Mmmmm I wonder how it would taste with pears.
Danielle says
June 9, 2014 at 2:15 pmI’m so excited you liked it! So your slow cooker worked fine with that time, I take it? I bet it would still be delish with pears! I’m curious to try peaches soon…
Angel says
June 9, 2014 at 3:40 pmYes it worked perfectly. I think next time I will double the cake mixture and keep the apple amount at three. This way we have a higher cake to apple ratio. Only have a few pieces left do I will be making this cake again this week.
Kinsey says
September 30, 2014 at 1:02 pmHas anyone tried putting this is a loafpan inside the crockpot?
Danielle says
September 30, 2014 at 3:52 pmI’m no sure if anyone has, Kinsey, sorry!
