My apple dump cake in the slowcooker ( insta pot slow cooker) on high 4 hours cooked the apples but the cake did not cook at all. I had to carefully scoop it all out, put it in a cake tin and cook it in the over to get the cake to cook.what did I do wrong?

Hi Wendy, sorry that happened! This recipe requires a traditional slow cooker so that the steam can escape via the glass lid. When using the insta pot in slow cooker mode the steam has nowhere to go and unfortunately can make things soupy.

I would prefer to use a french vanilla cake mix in place of the apple crock pot recipe and also the cherry crock pot recipe. I say that only because I don't like spice cake and I don't like the color of yellow cake. I assume it will taste just as delicious. What great recipes though when you have company. Dessert doesn't have to be another course you have to struggle with.
