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

This was just okay. We did not like the taste of the orange juice so it will not be repeated.
I was really looking forward to this recipe, I saw it in the magazine in the morning and made it in the evening. I usually try healthier recipes (less white flour and butter) but made exactly as listed. I did not like the flavor of the orange juice in the finished pudding, but my husband did, so that’s probably just me.
I do not have a slow cooker, but I did use my oven and baked the cake at 325o F. for 1 hour. I just used buttermilk. i did not use the sour cream topping for this recipe; I used a 12x9" greased and floured baking pan and shared this cake with 2 of my neighbors on my floor at my retirement community! The cake was enjoyed very much!
It is delicious and so easy to make love you can make it in a crock pot leaving oven open for other recipes. My family also very much loved it.
I brought this to my nieces graduation party. It was a big hit. So very delicious and comforting. I will be making this again and again.
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.
