APPLE PUDDING CAKE (CROCKPOT)

2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups unpeeled apple, finely chopped
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Spray a two pound tin can with cooking spray or grease and flour it well.

Beat sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Add apple with dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in nuts. Pour batter into can, filling no more than 2/3 full.

Place can in Crock Pot. Do not add water. Cover but leave cover ajar so steam can escape. Cook on high 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Don't peek before the last hour of baking.

Cake is done when top is set. Let stand in can a few minutes before tipping pudding out on a plate.

Serve half-rounds plain, with whipped topping, or a pudding sauce.
