Preparation

Butter bottom and side of 4- to 4-1/2-quart (4 to 4.5 L) slow cooker; add apples. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Top with brown sugar; toss to coat apples. Gently press apples to level; set aside.

Cake Topping: In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves. Stir into butter mixture alternately with milk, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of milk. Scrape batter evenly over apples; smooth top.

In small saucepan or large glass measuring cup, whisk cider with cornstarch; bring to boil on stove top or in microwave, whisking gently, to make slightly thickened sauce. Pour over batter; do not stir.

Cover and cook on high until sauce is bubbling, apples are tender and cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, about 2 to 3 hours.

Remove insert from slow cooker; let cool for 20 minutes before serving.

Additional information : Test Kitchen Tip: When pouring hot liquid over pudding cake batter, hold a large spoon, bowl side down, over centre of batter. Let liquid flow over back of spoon. This disperses it evenly and prevents it from pitting the surface of the cake.
