Tips:

Use a slow cooker that is at least 5 quarts in capacity to ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
Be sure to grease the slow cooker insert with butter or cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
If you are using fresh apples, be sure to peel and core them before slicing them.
You can use any type of apple you like in this recipe, but Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when cooked.
Be careful not to overcook the cake, as this can dry it out. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
Serve the cake warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite topping.
