Directions
1Peel core and slice Apple and soak in lemon juice and set aside.
2Combine butter and sugar in mixer.
3Add egg, vanilla essence, and cinnamon. Mix until combined.
4Add flour and milk alternately while mixing until all combined.
5Pour mixture into buttered and floured slow cooker insert.
6Push Apple slices into top anyway you like (unless very thin, they will sink to the middle anyway)
7I added a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar over the top.
8Pop tea towel under lid.
10Cook on high for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until skewer comes out of the centre clean.
Notes
1Turn slow cooker every half hour to avoid burning (1.5L slow cookers have a hot spot)
2To make non stick coating for slow cooker insert (cake comes out easier and isn't wrinkly like with baking paper) Rub the slow cooker insert with margarine/spread on some paper towel, then coat with some flour. Tip out excess flour and set slow cooker aside.

I’m going to try this with rhubarb. My friend gave me a great Rhubarb Cake recipe which I will convert to SC. I’ll let you know how it goes!

It doesn’t have honey then???
And yes I think it could work the other way still 🙂

I made this today (adjusted to make it diabetic friendly for hubby) .. substituted margarine for butter, used sugar substitute & wholemeal flour .. was very moist & tasty 😋.. found the cinnamon a bit strong so will use less next

Sounds lovely- I cannot see HONEY anywhere in the Ingredients. Would this work using a Packet Cake mix and adding the cinnamon & Apple ?

Delicious cake! I made it with gluten free flour & a teaspoon of baking powder added.

Made this tonight and it was delish. Outside cooked a little bit more but was still good. Had it warm with ice cream 😊

I don’t see why not .. you’ll just need to adjust cooking time
Though in a larger cooker it may not be as high a mix so may still cook similar time 🙂

Can I double this recipe for my 3.5 litre?

I think the flour and milk variations should work
Not certain on the honey since it’s adding extra moisture to the cake
You could swap sugar for splenda?
If you do try the swaps let us know anyway 🙂

Caster sugar is a fine sugar used in baking
SR flour is self raising flour

Do you think this would work ok with whole meal flour and almond milk? And instead of sugar some honey? Sorry for silly questions but trying to make things a bit healthier in the house

It’s not at all dumb to ask anything you aren’t sure of 🙂
These are done in a 1.5L slow cooker which is a round bowl.
Often they can get a hot spot on one side … so turning the cooking bowl around occasionally moves the cake around that hot spot rather than staying on it and getting burnt in one spot 🙂

Can I ask please what do you mean by turning the slow cooker? Is it the whole ting or the insert? I know this sounds dumb 😐

This was the first thing I tried in my baby slowcooker. Tasty and moist, however I need to be a little more careful getting it out of the bowl lol
I added some melted butter and cinnamon and sugar on top once it was cooked.
