Slow Cooker Week

This guest post comes to us from blogger Amanda Carlisle. Amanda is the blogger behind Moms with Crock Pots. Thanks, Amanda, for your great slow cooker dessert recipe.

Slow Cooker Cherry Dump Cake

Christmas is such a magical time of year that is full of family and friends. Don’t forget the food! Everyone loves a big Christmas dinner and those holiday baked goods will throw any diet off track. I don’t know about you, but I would rather spend my time visiting and enjoying the spirit of the holiday than in the kitchen. Let your slow cooker do the work. Instead of pie, try this Slow Cooker Cherry Dump Cake. It is just as delicious, with none of the work.

It seriously took my less than 5 minutes to put this in my slow cooker and get it started. Three hours later, amazing deliciousness! If you prefer apple or any other pie filling, just switch them out.

Cherry Dump Cake Finished

Slow Cooker Cherry Dump Cake

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 5 mins
Serves: 8 to 10

Ingredients:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (or this homemade cake mix)
  • 1 can cherry pie filling (or filling of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine

Instructions

  1. Dump 1 can of cherry pie filling into large slow cooker. Spread out evenly.
  2. Top with dry cake mix.
  3. Then drizzle melted butter over the top.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
  5. Serve warm with ice cream
Note: To make this dairy-free, use margarine or coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free cake mix.
3.2.1753

 

Cake Step 1

You are going to want to use a larger slow cooker for this recipe. Mine is a 6-quart slow cooker.

Cake Step 2

Open the can of pie filling and spread it out over the bottom of the slow cooker.

Cake Step 3

Top with the dry cake mix and then drizzle the melted butter or margarine over the top.

Cover and let it do it’s thing for 2-1/2 to 3 hours on LOW. DO NOT OPEN THE LID. Every time you open the lid you are releasing heat and moisture. Increasing the dryness and the cook time.

Cake Step 4

When you come back, it should look like this.

Cake Step 5

Spoon and serve with some ice cream! YUM

What is your favorite type of fruit pie filling?

    Sounds wonderful! I have a question not sure if this is a good place for it or not but here
    goes. The instructions for my slow cooker says that it has to be at least half full when
    cooking so I do not damage the appliance. I figure this dump cake is not going to make
    the half way mark. Does anyone else abide by this rule of thumb? Is it important?
    Thanks ahead of time for any advice, I am just getting into slow cooking and it is great.
