Crock-Pot chose my original recipe as a first place win! It's a warmer and goo-ee-er version of the Rustic Apple cake I've been making for years. It's slow cooked, warm, spicy, and spiked. I'm certain the use of whole wheat flour is what makes this dessert so delicious. I can't wait for the mailman to arrive with my prize package. 🙂 I hope you will enjoy this steamed in the crock-pot cake!
