Creating this amazing Crock Pot Apple Pudding Cake is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Grease the inside of the Crock Pot with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Apples and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Layer the Ingredients: Spread half of the apple mixture at the bottom of the Crock Pot. Pour half of the batter over the apples and repeat with the remaining apple mixture and batter.
7. Top with Brown Sugar: Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the top layer.
8. Add Water: Carefully pour the water around the edges of the cake mixture in the Crock Pot, ensuring it doesn’t disturb the layers.
9. Cook: Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, until the cake is set.
10. Cool: After cooking, allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
