- Pour the sliced peaches into the bottom of your greased slow cooker. Make sure to spread them out evenly, like you’re leveling out a cake!

- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix. No need to stir—just let it do its thing. You’ll see magic happen!
- If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle the chopped pecans and cinnamon on top. It adds a little crunch and spice to the mix.

Cooking Tips
As you embark on this sweet journey, here are a few helpful hints:
- Feel free to swap those peaches for other fruits like cherries or blueberries—just adjust the sweetness to match, or you might end up with something truly unexpected!
- If the top seems a bit too gooey after cooking, don’t worry—it’s all part of the charm! Just let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and it will set up beautifully.
- And for those of you who are dairy-free, coconut butter works perfectly in place of regular butter!
