Slow-Cooker Apple Pudding Cake
A satisfying dessert, pudding cake is a superb treat on a chilly night. It has three separate layers—apples, cake and sauce—and I like to serve it in a bowl. —Ellen Schroeder, Reedsburg, Wisconsin

My family loved this dessert! I had every ingredient on hand except the apples, but luckily I had a can of sliced apples in cinnamon flavored syrup. I just drained the liquid and chopped up the apple slices. The recipe turned out great even without fresh apples. I did not make the sour cream mixture. My family said they would like a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top in the future.
My family and I really enjoyed this recipe. The exact directions in this recipe call for it to cook on high 2-3 hours. I cooked it on high for 2 hours, switched off the crock pot, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before serving. It was perfect.
I have not made this dessert yet, but I would like to comment on printing the recipe. All Taste of Home recipes take 2 sheets of paper. Picture very large and print very small. Sukie
I don't know what happened but I made this today as directed and it was not very good! Tasted doughy and I let it slow cook for the 3 hours on low as directed. Will not be attempting this one again.
Great dessert---tasty and easy---I added more apples too, as mentioned before. Will definately keep this recipe handy.
Made this and took it to friends to cook while we were gone for a few hours. WOW awesome dessert. Skipped the sour cream mixture to serve with it and just used ice cream. Also took others advice and upped the apples to 4 instead of 2. I will make this again! SO EASY!
Amazing! I made this recipe exactly as is but chopped about 5 apples instead of 2 and it turned out so delish! Great for the fall season! And it's not overly sweet(I agree with the other review!)!! We were unsure of the sour cream topping-we never had it before but we loved it! We will keep it and use it again and use it for potlucks or holidays!!!!
Delcious! Light and not very sweet--just right after a big dinner. Ellie
Made this for a fall food day at work. It was a huge hit! The entire crockpot was scraped clean within 15 minutes and before people started eating lunch! Had lots of requests from people for the recipe and know that at least 2 people made it and also got rave reviews.
This is a wonderful dessert!! My husband is a diabetic so I always change the recipes a little: I did use more apples (about 6) and only 1/4c of sugar. I also used Sugar free maple syrup instead of honey and one box of sugar free strawberry jello (2 c water) + 2 tsp. cinnamon. It was just fabulous and I will serve this as one of my desserts for the next buffet or church function, since it can be kept warm right in the slow cooker.......really great dessert either way.
