Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (peeled, cored, and sliced) Apples
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup (packed) Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup (melted) Butter
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 as desired Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
Lightly coat the inside of your crock pot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even slices. Place them into the crock pot.
In a small mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple slices in the crock pot.
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the apples and toss gently to evenly coat them with the sugar and spice mixture.
Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the apple mixture in the crock pot. Do not stir.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix, ensuring most of the surface is covered.
If using chopped pecans, sprinkle them over the buttered cake mix for added texture and flavor.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and slightly crisp.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the dessert cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
