Ingredients
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry or apple pie filling
- 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size, about 15.25 ounces)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Place the entire can of cherry or apple pie filling into the bottom of a 1.5-quart slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
- Mix the cake topping: In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix with the melted butter. The mixture will be crumbly and slightly wet.
- Add the topping over the filling: Sprinkle the cake mix and butter mixture evenly over the pie filling in the slow cooker.
- Add walnuts (optional): Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the cake mixture if using, for added crunch and flavor.
- Cook the dessert: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 2 to 3 hours, until the topping is set and cooked through.
- Serve warm: Once cooked, serve the dessert in bowls, enjoying the warm, fruity, and crumbly delight.
Notes
- Use either cherry or apple pie filling based on your preference.
- For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker; check after 2 hours to avoid overcooking.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
