Minister’s Delight (Easy Slow Cooker Fruit Cobbler)
Make a comforting Minister’s Delight! This incredibly easy slow cooker dessert features fruit pie filling topped with a buttery cake mix crumble and optional walnuts.
Ingredients
(Based on 1x column)
- ▢ 1 can (21 ounces) cherry or apple pie filling
- ▢ 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size, approx. 15.25 oz), dry mix only
- ▢ 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- ▢ 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Optional for Serving:
- ▢ Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
1. Prepare Slow Cooker and Fruit Layer:
- Lightly grease the insert of your 1.5-quart slow cooker if desired (though often not strictly necessary if the pie filling is juicy).
- Spoon the entire can of cherry or apple pie filling into the bottom of the prepared 1.5-quart slow cooker. Spread it out into an even layer.
2. Make Crumbly Topping and Assemble:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry yellow cake mix directly from the box with the ½ cup of melted butter.
- Stir with a fork or spoon until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is evenly distributed throughout the cake mix. It will not form a smooth batter but rather a moist, crumbly mixture.
- Sprinkle this cake mix and butter crumble mixture evenly over the top of the pie filling in the slow cooker.
- If using, sprinkle the ⅓ cup of chopped walnuts evenly over the crumble topping.
3. Slow Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker securely with its lid.
- Cook on the LOW setting for 2-3 hours.
- The Minister’s Delight is done when the pie filling is bubbly around the edges and the topping is cooked through (it will look set and cake-like, though likely still very moist).
4. Serve:
- Turn off the slow cooker.
- Serve the Minister’s Delight warm, scooped directly from the slow cooker into individual bowls.
- It’s especially delicious topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy this easy, comforting treat!
