I love this recipe and have made a few times now but use only one cake mix but everything else as per recipe, I am making it this weekend to take to a friends for a dinner party my sc doesn’t have a keep warm setting would it be ok to cook before I go and then just put on low when I get there till its served or will that overcook the cake ? Thank you in advance .

All good Nicole. We all have different tastes and that’s fine, not offended at all. Thanks for giving it a go. Go with your gut feeling as I do on every recipe. I try it and then tweek it to my liking.

Tonight I was transported back to my childhood by the smell of this delicious dessert cooking. Our neighbour use to cook the most scrumptious desserts and as a little tyke I often snuck over there and had dessert before I’d even had my dinner. I wanted to do that again tonight. Yum yum yum.

Personally this was to rich for us. We are not big dessert eaters.
Next time I will only use 1 cake mix and half the carmel or a little less.
This is just our personal opinion and by no means do we mean any rudeness to the creator at all.

Sharon yes but just keep an eye on it. It will also depend on how hot your slow cooker runs as I find they all run a bit differently

I’m not a huge fan of caramel, can I just leave it out or even substitute for something else.

Absolutely amazing.
Halved recipe as there are only 2 of us, once cooked it filled my 3 litre sc to the top. We’ll happily be eating this for days 😃

Very simple and tasty, my house smelt amazing as the time drew closer to the end 😋🤤 I halved the recipe as it was only for 2 people but I think 2 tins of apples wouldve been better just so there was more apple per scoop. I wanna try this which peaches next time. Mmmm mmmm will definitely make it again. Thank you.

Would this still work ok half the amount in a 6 L slow cooker ? Or should I put it on low?

Have made this a couple of times now.
Made it last night. But on top of the caramel topping I adding chocolate pieces which melted through and added a bit extra.
So yummy.
If only 2 people maybe halve the recipe as makes a lot

This absolutely lush dessert recipe is to die for Joanne Talarico 😋😍 Thanks so much for sharing your yummy creation with us 😊 I halved the recipe for my family of 5 – I used 2×410gm pink lady apple slices in juice, 1/2cup caramel topping and 1×380gm vanilla cake mix. I needed to stretch out the cooking time a little in order for us to have time to digest our dinner so I cooked it with a tea towel under the lid in my 3lt sc on high for 2hrs and then reduced to low for another 2hrs. I also left it on keep warm for a good 1/2hr before serving with caramel crunch ice cream. Completely mouthwatering dessert, highly recommend you try this one for yourself 😁

I made a gluten free version of this for my dad for father’s day. They didn’t have a GF vanilla cake mix available so used chocolate. Added vanilla icecream and fed about 20 people for dessert! 🤤

Doreen for sure you can use fresh apples just stew first. I haven’t tried with condensed caramel but experimenting is half the fun. Might turn out really sweet but give it a go and please let me know how you go
Joanne

Lisa for half the recipe I would suggest a 3 litre cooker and for the full recipe a large 5 or 6 litre cooker.

What size slow cooker would you suggest for both the full recipe and those that have halved it Paulene Christie? 🙂

Can I use fresh apples and stew them first and also used tin of condensed milk caramel. Recipe looks delicious but we don’t have all the ingredients here in Cairo.

Used NZ ingredients. One tin Watties sliced apple @ 770g, one Edmonds vanilla cake mix @ 555g, with one egg and bit of water, made up just like the packet says, and half a bottle of Delmaine caramel topping. Next time I’d be tempted to use the whole bottle of caramel topping cos I love it so much! For two of us we got 6 large , I mean LARGE servings!

This was amazing and so freaking easing to make. I made mine with gluten free vanilla cake mix and left out the caramel as my monsters are not fans, and served with ice cream. It turned out so well and my fussy monsters have requested it again . 10 outta 10 from us in the Hudson household

This is the most yummiest dessert I’ve made. The whole family loved it. They wanted more and are always asking for me to make it again.
It’s to die for. I’ve told family members about this dessert.
Due to being lactose intolerant I substituted the dairy to lactose/dairy free.

Do you need to drain the liquid out of the apples or add it in also?

I made this tonight super easy! I only used 1 x 800g tin of sliced apples
And made up 1 packet of cake mix.
I didnt use caramel because the brand i bought didnt taste very nice so i left it out.
Cooked on low for 3 hours, i didnt read it properly where it said cook on high. Oops. It came out perfect cooked on low though as the amount of ingredients were reduced.

This is a lovely three ingredient dessert. I halved the recipe to use in my 1.5l baby cooker, but it was still too much. I used about 3/4 of the apples, with 1/2 cup caramel topping and about 3/4 cake mix. (Butter cake) Will definitely make again. Thank you for the recipe Joanne.

Sharon I haven’t done that before but I guess you could try, just cook it before you leave and put it back on as soon as you get there. Keep an eye on the outer side of the pie in case it over cooks.
