Crockpot Apple Cake




I'm just beginning to explore the wonderful world of baked goods make in the crockpot! Sure, I've tried my hand at a few cobblers and had some success, but I've never tried making a cake!! This cake was awesome -- moist, fully cooked, and full of the flavors I love so much about fall. We started the dessert, ran out to get the new David Crowder Church Music CD, went for a quick walk, and came back to enjoy a tasty treat!



Crockpot Apple Cake - Modified from Fix-It and Forget-It

1 C flour (1/2 C wheat, 1/2 C white)
3/4 C brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
3 large apples, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. vanilla

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.



Peel and slice your apples (I diced mine fairly small), and then coat with the flour mixture.



Mix the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl.



Pour the egg mixture over the floured apples. Pour/spoon into a greased crockpot.



Yes, the batter is thick.

Cover, and cook on high for ~2 hours.





Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.



Slice and serve warm. Leftovers were great for breakfast too ;) And, since it's fat-free, I didn't feel too bad about eating cake for breakfast!



Here's Frog Prince enjoying it as we listed to David Crowder's new CD - Church Music.



I think that if David Crowder would have been joining us, he would have liked it too.

I can't believe all the recipe for the slow cooker. 32 years ago when I got married the only thing I could make in the slow cooker was a pot roast and pinto bean. WOW!!! now you can make everything. I think this is GREAT!!! Thanks for the YUMMY!!! recipe for Apple Cake. Now I need to send my husband to the store for more apples. Geri

This seems like an awesome use for my crockpot! That cake looks so moist, especially for having no fat in it. Heck it looks moister than most cakes that have over a cup of oil in them. I am SO making this! Thanks for the recipe. I can't wait to see some of the other recipes on your menu plan for this upcoming week.

Sarah said...

Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for this recipe. I just made it and put it in the crockpot. It should be ready when the kids get up from their nap. I can't wait...it smells good already!

Rachel said...

Yep, I'm a huge crockpot fan but have never tired this recipe! Now can't wait to do that for Sunday lunch! Thanks for posting!!! Do you use the crockpot liners? You'll love them!

Amy Green said...

This looks great - I've only tried a cake in the crockpot once and it was awful. I will have to try it again.

Thanks so much for participating in Slightly Indulgent Mondays!

I have never made any kind of dessert in the crock pot. This looks so easy and sounds great!!! Happy TMTT.

Bloggin' Mama said...

This looks awesome. I've just started learning about baking in the crock pot and have yet to try it. This might be my first thing to try!!

Joy @ Joy Of Desserts said...

This cake looks good. I'm adding your recipe to my Crock Pot dessert recipes, and will try it out despite the fact that it is fat free.

Queen Mommy said...

Sounds good! I'm bookmarking this one. Thanks.

Phoebe @ Cents to Get Debt Free said...

So, how was the CD? I love David Crowder, and have been thinking of getting that CD.

A Fat Free Dessert in the Crockpot--I must give it a whirl!

~Alison~ said...

Crock-pot, Fat Free, and Cake......3 of my favorite words!!!! :) Gotta try this ! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Ginny said...

Hey friend!
How many people would you say this would serve?
I want to make it for 6 people for this Saturday night and I'm so excited about it. It looks so delicious!

Terry said...

I was wondering what size crockpot is used for this recipe? Does it matter? I have a smallish 2 qt crockpot.

Holly T. said...

I just made this cake this weekend and it turned out fabulous! My two toddlers loved it, too. Thanks for the great recipe and I love your site!

Michelle said...

It looks really, really good, and I'm inclined to try it regardless, but one question: How's it fat free with two eggs in it? Is it just really low fat with two eggs being the only contributing fat?

SnoWhite {Finding Joy in My Kitchen} said...

Hi Michelle~

Great catch -- I was thinking about no additional fats through oil/butter in this recipe. But, you are right, there is fat in the recipe and it's from the eggs. Thanks!

Stefani @ MommyEnterprises.com said...

I LOVE using my crock pot but have never made a dessert before. I never thought about it until reading this post. Now my crock pot will be in use way more than it already does.

I'm thinking banana nut bread in the crock pot now....

~M said...

What are your thoughts on shredding the apples instead of chopping them?

SnoWhite said...

@ M --

You can totally shred the apples for this recipe -- I'm just usually too lazy to do so. I like the apple chunks too, but I'm sure shredded apples would work wonderfully.

Your Frugal Friend, Niki said...

This looks amazing! It is on my to-try list now.

Thanks for sharing.

sharon :) said...

Since there are so many different sizes of crockpots now, what size is best for cooking this in? 2qt? 5qt?

Thanks.
