To serve

This warm apple pie cake is made in the slow cooker

Method


1. Start by chopping the apples into small cubes, add them to a bowl and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
2. In a clean bowl mix together the sugars, butter, eggs and vanilla. Mix well then add in the flour and baking powder.
3. Pour it into a lined slow cooker and turn it on high for 2 hours.
4. Make the salted caramel by melting butter and brown sugar together in a pot. Mix in the heavy cream slowly and the salt. Set side.
4. Once the cake is done poke a few holes and pour half the salted caramel sauce on-top and allow it to seep in for an hour. Serve with a scoop of ice cream and top with extra sauce.

Why use a slow cooker?

Slow cookers are the perfect life hack during winter. They’re beginner chef friendly, you can cook both mains and desserts in them, and they’re energy efficient. In fact, they use a little more energy than a traditional light bulb. So, you can have something slow cooking all day while you work – saving your energy and energy at home.
