Crumble is one of those desserts that can really go well or badly. Too much liquid, and you lose the crunch. Not enough, and it's a brick to bite into. This easy three-ingredient recipe below will leave you with nothing to worry about.

Start by using ready-made pie filling. For this, you can use any kind you like. In our recipe, we decided to go with cherry. Then, melt butter and mix it into a box of cake mix. You can use either white or yellow cake box mix; we chose to go with yellow. Add it all to the slow cooker and line the top with a few paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Two hours later, you'll have a crumble that barely made you lift a finger.
