Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans apple pie filling 20 oz each
  • 1 box spice cake mix Duncan Hines preferred
  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats optional, for a crunchier top
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for serving

Method
 

  1. Pour both cans of apple pie filling into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the filling and lay the pieces of butter on top. For extra texture, sprinkle on the oats and cinnamon.
  3. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 to 3.5 hours. Scoop warm into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel.

Notes

Any brand of pie filling works, including homemade canned apple pie filling. Swap the filling and cake mix for other flavor combinations.
