Servings: 8

2 cans of sliced peaches in syrup (15 oz each)
1 box of yellow cake mix
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted

1. Begin by lightly greasing the inside of your slow cooker with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.

2. Pour the canned peaches, along with their syrup, into the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the peaches, making sure to cover them completely.

4. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix, trying to cover as much of the surface as possible.

5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or until the top is golden and the peaches are bubbly.

6. Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let the cake sit for about 15 minutes before serving. This allows it to set a bit more.

For a bit of spice, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake mix before sprinkling it over the peaches. If you prefer a less sweet version, use peaches in juice instead of syrup. You can also experiment with different fruits, such as cherries or apples, for a unique twist. For a richer flavor, consider using a butter pecan or spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix.
