Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours

Ingredients
 

  • 1 Granny Smith Apple (peeled cored and sliced and soak in lemon juice)
  • 60g butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1 cup SR flour
  • Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling (Optional)

Instructions
 

  • Peel core and slice Apple and soak in lemon juice and set aside.
  • Combine butter and sugar in mixer.
  • Add egg, vanilla essence, and cinnamon. Mix until combined.
  • Add flour and milk alternately while mixing until all combined.
  • Pour mixture into buttered and floured slow cooker insert.
  • Push Apple slices into top anyway you like (unless very thin, they will sink to the middle anyway)
  • I added a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar over the top.
  • Pop tea towel under lid.
  • Cook on high for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until skewer comes out of the centre clean.

Notes

  • Turn slow cooker every half hour to avoid burning (1.5L slow cookers have a hot spot)
  • To 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.
