Slow Cooker Minister’s Delight
Ingredients
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced into thin pieces
Directions
- Begin by prepping your slow cooker with a light coat of non-stick spray. This crucial step ensures an effortless clean-up.
- Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a tantalizing fruit base.
- Evenly distribute the yellow cake mix over the cherry filling. Resist the urge to mix; layering is key to achieving the perfect texture.
- Arrange the thin slices of butter over the cake mix, ensuring as much coverage as possible. As the butter melts, it will blend with the cake mix, forming a deliciously golden, crumbly crust.
- Cover the slow cooker, set it to low, and let it cook for 3-4 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the cake is golden and starts to pull away slightly from the edges of the cooker.
Variations & Tips
- Looking to switch things up? Substitute the cherry pie filling with blueberry, apple, or peach for a delightful variation.
- For an added crunch, sprinkle a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts over the cake mix before adding the butter.
- To infuse a bit of warmth, mix a scoop of cinnamon into the pie filling before layering.
- For a convenient dessert, prepare the ingredients before your evening activities, and it will be ready by the time dinner is done. Perfect timing!
Conclusion
There you have it! A simple yet delightful dessert that promises to satisfy with minimal effort. The Minister’s Delight is your go-to for a fuss-free, delicious end to your day. Let your slow cooker do the work and enjoy a sweet, delectable treat.
