Apple Filling
- 2 cans (20 oz each) apple pie filling
Topping
- 1 box gluten-free or regular yellow cake mix
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the crockpot or slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner to prevent sticking.
- Add Apple Filling: Spoon the apple pie filling evenly into the bottom of the crockpot.
- Mix Topping: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to blend the dry ingredients.
- Assemble Cobbler: Sprinkle the cake mix mixture evenly over the apple filling layer in the crockpot.
- Add Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave, then drizzle it evenly over the cake mix topping to help it bake up crisp and golden.
- Cover and Cook: Place a paper towel over the crockpot, pull it tight, then place the lid on top to seal. This helps absorb condensation and keeps the cobbler from getting soggy. Set the crockpot to high and cook for 3 hours.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the apple cobbler warm. It's excellent topped with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Notes
- This recipe can be made gluten-free by choosing a gluten-free yellow cake mix.
- Using a slow cooker liner makes cleanup easier.
- The paper towel under the lid helps prevent excess moisture from dripping back onto the cobbler topping, keeping it crisp.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts to the topping for added texture if desired.
