Main Ingredients
- 2 cans (20 oz each) apple pie filling
- 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 for easier cleanup.
- Add Apple Filling: Pour the two cans of apple pie filling evenly into the bottom of the crockpot to form the base layer.
- Mix Topping: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, light brown sugar, and cinnamon thoroughly to create the cobbler topping mixture.
- Layer the Topping: Sprinkle the cake mix mixture evenly over the apple pie filling inside the crockpot.
- Add Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle it evenly over the dry cake mix topping to moisten and enrich it.
- Cover and Secure: Place a paper towel tightly over the crockpot opening, then firmly place the lid on top. This method helps absorb moisture and keeps the lids tight during cooking.
- Cook: Set the crockpot to high and cook for 3 hours until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly and hot.
- Serve: Spoon warm servings into bowls and optionally top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce for an extra special dessert.
Notes
- This cobbler can be made gluten-free by selecting a gluten-free yellow cake mix.
- Using a slow cooker liner can make cleanup much easier.
- For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before drizzling butter.
- Adjust the cinnamon amount to your taste preference for more or less spice.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture—reheat leftovers gently.
