Slow Cooker Pear and Cherry Buckle

I was super sick with a nasty nasal cold, I needed to make something for our family late Christmas dinner. Saw this on TV, I had all the ingredients, it was EASY and AWESOME!


Pear and Cherry Buckle
Recipe courtesy Sandra Lee

Prep Time: 10 min Inactive Prep Time:--Cook Time: 4-6 hr
Level: Easy
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients
1 (26-ounce) can cherry pie filling
2 (15-ounce) cans diced pears in syrup
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter, cut into small pieces
1 (1.19-ounce) packet maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Whipped topping, for serving
Directions
Spray a 5-quart slow cooker with butter-flavored cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine pie filling, pears, and almond extract. Pour into prepared slow cooker. Sprinkle cake mix over fruit mixture. Dot with butter. In a small bowl, combine oatmeal packet and almonds. Sprinkle over cake mixture.

IMPORTANT: Place 8 paper towels over slow cooker bowl and under the lid, then secure with lid. (This helps to trap steam.) Cook on LOW setting for 4 to 6 hours. Do not lift lid to check cake for the first 3 hours.

Serve warm with whipped topping.
