Ingredients
- One 595 g 21 oz tin of cherry pie filling
- A packet of yellow cake mix weighing approximately 432 g (15.25 oz)
- Half a cup 115 g of butter, unsalted and melted
- Nonstick spray for greasing
- Ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon (optional, for added warmth)
- Optional toppings: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Lightly grease the interior of a 6-quart slow cooker using nonstick spray to ensure easy release and minimal cleanup.
- Evenly spread the cherry pie filling across the base of the cooker, forming the first layer. If desired, dust the fruit layer with ground cinnamon for a subtle spiced aroma.
- Distribute the dry yellow cake mix uniformly over the cherry layer, taking care not to mix or stir the layers.
- Carefully pour the melted butter over the surface of the cake mix, aiming to moisten as much of the powder as possible. It is acceptable for a few dry spots to remain.
- Seal the cooker with its lid and set it to cook. Choose LOW for 6 to 7 hours or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. The dessert is ready when the surface is golden and the edges are lightly crisped.
- Ladle the warm dessert into individual bowls and top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired, before serving.
