How to Make Apple Spice Cake in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Reader Su asked on our Crock Pot Chocolate Cherry Heaven if it could be made with a spice cake mix and canned apples. I thought that idea sounded delicious and wanted to give it a try, and now you have this amazing Crock Pot Apple Spice Cake!
Here’s the thing…I could not find a spice cake mix even after going to or checking with 4 stores. My mind was blown! However, I figure that if I am having a hard time finding one, the same could happen to you! So, I started googling how to make a spice cake mix with a white cake mix. That’s when I ran across this recipe that said you could use a white or yellow cake mix. It worked like a charm!
In case you are wondering about the color of the apples, that would be the cinnamon that you are mixing up with your white cake mix. I love the way the flavors of the spices blend into the cake and apples in this recipe. I bet you will love this recipe as much as we do!

I love dump cakes and this one is very good. Good blend of spices. Easy to make and great dessert.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Jon! Thank you for taking the time to let me know. It makes my day to hear a reader likes a recipe I posted.

This sounds great! I’m surprised you couldn’t find a spice cake mix. Betty Crocker makes the best spice cake mix. Been making it since 1980s. It will be amazing in your recipe. YUM!
I was too Lyn! I never dreamed I wouldn’t be able to find one…especially after checking four stores! lol
If I have a spice cake mix would I still add the extra spices or just the cinnamon for the apples?
Hi Carolyn!
I haven’t tried this with a spice cake mix, but it should work just fine! The spices are to make the white cake mix into a spice cake, so you can skip the spices all together. However, if you like extra cinnamon and want to use it, go for it! If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
