Main Ingredients
- 2 cans 20 oz apple pie filling
- 1 box gluten-free or regular yellow cake mix
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the crockpot or slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner to prevent sticking.
- Add Apple Filling: Pour the two cans of apple pie filling evenly into the bottom of the crockpot.
- Mix Topping: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, packed light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix together until well blended.
- Layer Topping: Sprinkle the cake mix mixture evenly on top of the apple pie filling in the crockpot.
- Drizzle Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then evenly drizzle it over the cake mix topping to help it crisp and brown.
- Cover and Cook: Place a paper towel tightly over the top of the crockpot, then put the lid on tightly over the paper towel. This helps absorb moisture 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 pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce for an extra indulgent dessert.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, be sure to use a gluten-free yellow cake mix.
- You can use a slow cooker liner for easier cleanup.
- If you prefer a softer topping, omit the butter or use less.
- Letting the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving helps it set slightly.
- Adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before cooking gives a crunchy texture.
