Slow Cooker Minister’s Delight

1. Preparation: First things first—grab your trusted slow cooker and give it a little spray with non-stick spray. We’re building foundations here—no stickage allowed.
2. Layer the Base: Pour the cherry pie filling into the slow cooker. Spread it out to create a fruity, tempting base.
3. Add the Cake Mix: Now, sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly on top of the cherry layer. No mixing, you hear? Layers are the name of the game in this delight.
4. Top with Butter: Next, place those thin butter slices on top of the cake mix, covering as much cakey territory as you can. This is where the magic happens—the butter will melt and mingle with the cake mix, creating a golden, crumbly crust. Bliss.
5. Cook to Perfection: Put the lid on your slow cooker, set it to low, and forget about it for about 3-4 hours. What you’re aiming for is a cake that’s golden and has edges pulling away slightly from the cooker.

Variations & Tips

• Fruit Variations: Fancy a change-up? Swap cherry for blueberry, apple, or even peach pie filling. The Minister’s Delight is not one for monotony!
• Add Nuts: If you’re in the mood for nuts, throw a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts over the cake mix before adding the butter. This’ll add a delightful crunch.
• Spice it Up: Want to go full Midwestern charm? A scoop of cinnamon in the pie filling can add an extra warming touch.
• Timing: For my fellow ever-busy bees, prep it before your evening hustle and dessert will be ready when dinner’s cleared. Talk about perfect timing!
