This 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Apple Spice Cake is a delicious dessert crockpot recipe for Fall! My whole family loved this easy treat. I was able to scoop it right out of the slow cooker into bowls and serve it after dinner. The kids thought it tasted just like fried apples, but better. They were really impressed. That is why I love to use my slow cooker because everyone thinks I spent hours cooking when really I didn’t. I just let the crockpot do the work!
Lightly spray your slow cooker with non stick cooking spray. Pour the apple pie filling into the bottom of your crockpot. Next sprinkle the cake mix all over the top of the apple filling.
Place butter on top. Put the lid on and cook for 2 1/2 hours on high. Scoop and serve warm. You can also use a gluten free cake mix to make this into a gluten free recipe! If you can find a spice cake mix you can sub with a yellow cake mix and additional spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves).
I served the Apple Spice Cake with Whipped Cream, but next time I will serve it with some vanilla ice cream too. Be sure to try this scrumptious dessert soon, you will not be disappointed! This would make a great dessert for Thanksgiving or any holiday.
I hope you enjoy this 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Apple Spice Cake. It is out of this word delicious and the perfect dessert for fall! I am looking forward to serving it for Thanksgiving. It is soon be become a family favorite once you give it a try. Anytime I can make dessert in my crockpot I call that a mom win! 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Apple Spice Cake is the BEST crockpot dessert recipe for Fall and it can even be made gluten free when you use a gluten free cake mix.

Question:
Will this recipe work for any cake flavor? Will the number of ingredients change? Should I/we follow the box instructions?
Yes it will!
I just made one with cherry filling and chocolate cake, It was delicious
Good idea! Love the cherry and the chocolate cake mix together
If I keep it on “warm” and don’t eat it right away , will it dry out ? And how did you store it … In the fridge?
I haven’t tried that. Store it in the fridge (if you have leftovers 🙂
How long will the leftovers last?
2-3 days in the refrigerator.
Depends on how hungry you are ?
What temperature do you set the crockpot on? Low-Medium-High?
High.
Can I double this.
Yes!
Can you double the recipe?
Yes!
If you double the recipe, do you need to double the time it takes to cook? Or will it be about the same?
It will be about the same.
I have the same crock pot nice. Go Pack
Where do you find the crockpot?
It is no longer available. It is a retired style. Don’t you love it?
I think Kohls and Boston store have similar crockpots:)
Shopko is a retailer in mostly midwestern states…..they have the green bay packer themed crockpots….go to Shopko.com and search fro crockpot on their website
Does it have to be an oval crock pot or would it still work in a 6qt tall slow cooker?
Any 6 qt will work 🙂
What size crockpot?
We used a 6 quart for this recipe.
Do you stir it together?
Nope – just layered it.
Could I cut the recipe in half and cook in mini crockpot?
I am not sure – I haven’t tried that but let us know if you try it!
I’ve done that!!! Cut everything in 1/2… Used my mini crock…. Came out GREAT!!!
I just tried this for the first time last night, it’s only for 2 of us so I took a chance and halved the recipe. The spice cake I used was a 15. (Something) ounce box. Total measurement came out to just about 3 cups. So I did 1 can apple pie filling, scant 1 1\2 Cup spice cake mix, (put remaining 1 1/2 Cup in zip lock baggie for next time) and 1stick butter cut up and spread over the top. I thought 2 hours would be adequate since it was only half the recipe, but it did take the full 2 1/2 hours. I used a 4 quart oval Hamilton Beach crock pot.
This particular crock pot got it VERY done around 1 edge while there was still a slightly doughy spot on the other edge. I have several crock pots from several different manufacturers so I am going to start keeping a log of each one and how it does with different dishes…
It did come out VERY sweet. I do recommend vanilla ice cream with it.
The 2.5 size crockpot might have been better since you 1/2’d it.
This look so good I’m going to make this today ?
Mine is in the crock pot now!
Omg…..These questions are redunkulous…..commen sense people!! lol
Add walnuts and some brown sugar makes it even yummier!! I think!
Can you do this in the oven?
We haven’t tried but I am sure you can.
Yes, you can do it in the oven. I have used a 9×13 and an 8×8 glass baking dishes. I melted the butter and poured over the cake mix. For 8×8 I used only one can of filling. Bake at 325
Where can I buy spice cake mix please . This looks delisious
I picked mine up at Kroger.
My Daughter found this recipe and made it for us a few weeks ago—added walnuts and brown sugar.She topped each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—-was yummy !!!!!—-She is making it again tonight for desert—-need a delicious treat—we are up to our ears in snow —-in Virginia !!!—Try this you will love it!
Can you use any kinda of pie filling?
Yes!
Can you use a substitute for the butter in the recipe if you are out of butter?
Yes, you can use another fat.
The picture shows 2 cubes of butter, but the recipe calls for 2 Tbs.??????
The recipe says 8 oz.
I am in the process of making this now. It has been on high for 4 hours and still looks raw.
I know it isnt my crockpot as I just used it for chili yesterday.
Is it supposed to look and have this raw texture?
No – have you taken the lid off? You need to keep the lid tight and not remove turning cooking.
I forgot t spray pan first… Will it be ok??? I did everything else exact
Hoping it doesn’t stick.
Can you use crockpot liners?
Yes you can.
What size are the cans of pie filling?
21 oz.
My slow cooker lid has the steam release hole. Will this affect the apple spice cake? I have not made it yet, but was asked to give it a try.
None of mine have a vent hole but I would give it a try – from what I have read it says cookers with a vent hole have a tendency to overcook easier. Have you ever had that problem?
Love your slow cooker
can i use 4 qt crockpot
Yes!
I left this out over night. Do you think it’s still good?
Yes, I think so.
How do you know when its done mine still gooey
it shows 2 sticks of butter on top and that’s what I did now butter is still on top
melted tho but in same place I put it in
Mine came out super sweet! Too sweet for me.
I don’t care for canned apples. Can you use cut up apples?
I am sure you can. Not sure if you should soften them a little first though.
No canned apples left in my store can you use canned peaches?
I am sure that will work.
Can you use one big can of apples instead of to small cans
Yes you can.
I added carmel to mine. Also i melted the butter first. When done added more carmel sauce. Bought to a pot luck and i got i very little bite of it.
I love this but I would recommend with kids yellow cake or vanilla anything that isn’t spice.. my daughter don’t have this rarely even we adults love it the kiddos would love the yellow it tastes amazing too!
I used yellow sugar free cake mix. I think I have to cook it a little longer but it tastes good so far lol. Still very sweet though.
I have an All-In-One Pressure cooker/Slow cooker. The slow cooker can only be used on low. How long should I cook it? Maybe 5 hours?
I would go with 5-6
Delicious but way too sweet fir our family! Any suggestions? I don’t want to use another cake, I liked the spice cake flavor!
Go with sliced apples instead of the apple pie filling 🙂
If you double ever thing do you double time too ?
Nope! Just be sure your slow cooker is big enough to hold.
I made this for an employee lunch today… I totally won the potluck! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
I just got me a new Crock pot smart -pot 7 quart size
The first time I made this it came out awesome was a big hit at our picnic made it twice since and it came out soupy can’t figure out what happened the the same crockpot all 3 times.
I baked this cake this past week, and it was great! My guests loved it. I think next time I bake it, I will cut up the butter sticks to make sure all the edges are covered. It was a cold day, so it was just perfect! I will certainly make it again! Thank you!
Hi! Love the simplicity of this recipe! I’m trying it tomorrow, but with fresh apples instead of canned- anything in particular I should do? Dice or slice? Mix with cinnamon or anything? Thanks! 🙂
I would go with sauteing them with some butter and cinnamon first to break them down a bit. Enjoy!
I have all of the ingredients but not making this until tomorrow until I have the funds to go buy some vanilla ice cream I’m super excited to give this a try
Can you double the recipe ?
Yes, just use a larger crockpot.
I only used one stick of butter and it turned out very good.
I was skeptical at first but it was delicious.
I bet you could use any combination of fruit and cake mix.
If using fresh apples that you have cooked how many cups would you use for the recipe? We are doing an apple unit at school and I want to cook this with my children.
3 cups
If you double the recipe do you put a layer apples, cake mix, butter, than apple, cake mix and butter?
No, just double the ingredients and layer the same as directed.
Should the crock pot be preheated before adding ingredients?
No.
Mine has cooked 3 hours on high but still gooey. Any suggestions?
