2 medium apples (I used one gala and one golden delicious, because that's what I had on hand.)

1 box yellow cake mix

1/4 c. brown sugar

1/4 c. oil

2 eggs

1 1/4 c. orange juice

 

First, slice the apples into rounds 1/2-inch thick.

With a paring knife, cut out the core from each slice.

Spray crock pot with cooking spray and line the bottom of the crock with apple slices. (The slices will fit better without overlap in a 5-quart crock pot, but if you want a thicker, taller cake, you can overlap slightly in the bottom of a 3-quart crock pot.)

Sprinkle with brown sugar and set aside.

In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and orange juice. Stir until smooth, then spread on top of the apple slices.

Cook on high for approximately 2 hours (if using a 5-quart crock pot) or 3 - 3 1/2 hours (if using a 3-quart crock pot), until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Run a knife around the outer edge to loosen the cake, then invert it onto a platter or cutting board to remove from the crock. Let cool slightly before serving.
