If you haven't tried making a cobbler in your slow cooker yet then don't wait another day to give it a whirl! As summer days slide into mellow autumn ones, we start once again to gravitate towards warm, fruity puddings with crispy sugary toppings and a scoop of ice cream alongside.

Use less of the apple pie filling if your slow cooker is on the small side, and feel free to use your favorite fruity flavor in place of, or as well as, the apple filling. Blueberry and apple is a great combo, or how about raspberry? Don't be tempted to stir the butter into the cake mix; the moisture that builds up during the cooking process cooks the topping perfectly.

Cinnamon Apple cobbler

10 minutes

2 hours

2 hours, 10 minutes

2 x 20-oz cans of apple pie filling

1 pack white cake mix

½ teaspoon cinnamon

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Into a medium sized bowl, mix cake mix and cinnamon. Add in butter and mix until crumbly.

Into a 6-quart slow cooker, spread the apple pie filling. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top of the apples. Then evenly distribute the cake mix on top. No need to get out all the crumbly bits. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.

Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.

Serve warm with a generous scoop of the finest vanilla ice cream you can find and pat yourself on the back for finding the easiest apple cobbler recipe ever!

Note: All slow cookers are a little bit different in temperature and calibration. This recipe was tested in Cooktop Cove's Test Kitchen using this slow cooker, which is available for purchase here.
