Apple Cake (Crockpot)

Directions

In a medium-large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.

With two knives, cut the shortening into the flour until mixture is mealy.

Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and milk.

Stir in the flour mixture to form smooth batter, turn into greased 2-quart mold.

Arrange the apples in rows on top, pushing them halfway into the dough.

In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg and 2 tablespoons sugar.

Sprinkle over the apples and dot with apricot jam.

Drizzle butter over all.

Place in the slow cooker and cover loosely with a plate.

Cover the cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape.

Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours.
