Wake-N-Bake Apple Cake

Because I made this as a present a couple of weekends ago for someone who I suspect likes the weed:

1 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
4 medium-sized cooking apples, chopped
1/3 c. eggbeaters (this is a low-fat recipe)
2 tsp. vanilla

1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Add apples, stirring lightly to coat.
3. Combine eggbeaters and vanilla. Add to apple mixture. Stir until just moistened. Spoon into lightly greased slow cooker.
4. Cover. Bake on high 2 1/2-3 hours. Serve warm.

This was a fun one to try, and as it turns out many people aren't aware that you can bake cakes and fruit compotes in your crock-pot. Oh but you can! It didn't look like there was enough of the eggbeaters and vanilla to make any sort of texture, but I dumped it all in the pot and magically (or maybe it was the baking powder) it expanded into an honest-to-God, yummy-smelling cake. It wasn't much to look at, but the birthday boy said it tasted good, and leftovers won raves at the office. Woo hoo! I used the tart and delicious Granny Smith apple.
