Directions:
1. Spray 3 1/2-to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Spoon pie filling into cooker; spread evenly.
2. Beat remaining ingredients except ice cream with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pie filling.
3. Cover and cook on high heat setting for 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve with ice cream.

I would rather a homemade apple mixture instead of the ‘apple pie filling’. What would be a good recipe for making this myself?
