CROCK POT APPLE COBBLER

The other day I had a craving for a rich gooey dessert. So since my last dessert in the crock pot wasn’t my best (peach cobbler) I decided to try apple cobbler with a cake mix. It was easier and so much better using the cake mix than the pie crust. I think I might have perfected the recipe! We ate on it for almost a week. My daughter preferred it warm, my mother loved hers warmed with vanilla ice cream on top and I of course preferred mine right out of the crock pot with only a spoon. Yes it was one of those I could eat right out of the pot kind of desserts. I timed it to be ready about an hour after dinner. That was a mistake! We barely made it thru dinner. The aroma of apples and cinnamon kept wafting thru the kitchen and dining room. Good thing was I had left overs dinner for the next night because everyone saved room for dessert. So here is my recipe for some awesome apple cobbler. It was also very tasty cold right out of the refrigerator too. I don’t have a calorie count for this dish but I do know if you invite company over to eat it, one serving is not as many calories as eating the whole crock pot. It would easily be done and finished so there wouldn’t be any late night temptations. I guess sharing is how I am going to count my calories this year. So I can have my cake, cobbler, or pie and eat a slice too?

 

INGREDIENT:

1 box of yellow cake mix
2 cans of apple pie filling
½ cup of melted butter
1 tsp. of cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:
Spray the crock pot with PAM. Then pour the apple pie filling in the bottom. Next sprinkle the cinnamon over the pie filling. Then in a medium bowl mix together the cake mix and melted butter until it is crumbly. Spoon it over the pie filling. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours. Then uncover and place a double paper towel on top and cover again for another 30 minutes to help absorb the extra liquid. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whip cream.
