Pear & Cherry Buckle/Apple Pear Buckle

Posted by Holly Nelson on Tuesday, October 5, 2010 Under: Tummy Yummy Recipe of the Week

Pear and Cherry Buckle (for the slow cooker)(reader recipe!)

1 can cherry pie filling

1 can pears in light syrup

1 box yellow cake mix

1 stick of unsalted butter

1/4 cup Almond slices

1 packet Maple and Brown Sugar instant oats

1 tsp Almond extract

cooking spray

8 paper towels

Spray inside of crock pot. Fill with cherry pie filling and pears. (cut up the pears into bite size pieces) Add 1 tsp almond extract. Stir together. Pour the entire box of dry cake mix over the top of the fruity mixture. Do Not stir. The cake mix will absorb the juices from the fruit mixture. Cut stick of butter into pats and drop evenly over the dry cake mix. Sprinkle entire oatmeal packet over butter. Sprinkle almond slices over oatmeal. Cover top of crock pot with 8 paper towels to catch steam/moisture. Place lid on crock pot. Cook on low for 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Do not lift the lid of the crock pot for the first 3 hours or it will not turn out right.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

**I also tried it with apple pie filling. So yummy, too!!

With Pictures:

I wish the after picture looked as good as it tasted!

Gather all your ingredients... You don't have to use just one brand. Any will do. My favorites are the ones on sale!

Add both fruits to a greased crock pot/slow cooker. I use Pam butter spray

Sprinkle cake mix evenly on fruit...I just had a thought, I wonder how chocolate cake mix would taste...hhmm? That will be my next one.

Top with pats of butter (one whole stick)

Sprinkle with one oatmeal packet

Then top with almonds....

**YOU MUST DO THIS STEP!! Lay 8 paper towels on top then place the lid on top. It helps hold the moisture in. The cake will not set if you do not do this!

This did not last long. Even my hubby, who does not like cherries, LOVED this!
Give it a try, I bet you will too!
