Coat the inside of a 4-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined to form a smooth batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the slow cooker.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the mixture. Do not stir.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on high for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the cake is set and the top forms a slightly firm crust.
Turn off the slow cooker and let the cake cool for about 15 minutes.
Serve warm, spooning some of the fudgy sauce from the bottom over each portion of cake.
