This easy to make 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Cherry Cobbler is a delicious dessert and is ready in just 2 hours.
I’ve never made dessert in my slow cooker before. I really should have done so long before this recipe for cherry cobbler. It’s so easy! It helps that there are only 3 ingredients in making the delicious dessert.
January is National Slow Cooker Month and what a better way to celebrate it than with something sweet! I am joining several other food bloggers this week to share slow cooker recipes. Be sure to scroll past the recipe to see a list of what we are sharing today! Come back on Wednesday and Friday for even more recipes all using that slow cooker.
Back to this 3 ingredient slow cooker cherry cobbler – If you’ve made dump cakes, then this recipe is just the same except you are baking it in your crock pot. You literally will be “dumping” the ingredients into the slow cooker, placing the lid on, and let it do its thing for two hours.
Can’t get easier than that!
How to Make 3 Ingredient Slow Cooker Cherry Cobbler
I used two cans of cherry pie filling (21 ounces each), 1 box of yellow cake mix, and 1 stick of butter. That’s it. I chose to use a cherry pie filling that had “simple” ingredients to cut down on the high fructose corn syrup.
Pour the cherry pie filling into the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the DRY cake mix to the top of the cherries, in an even layer. Cut up a stick of butter and place add to the top of the cake mix, in an even layer. VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT MIX.
Cover and let cook on high for 2 hours. You’ll know when it’s done. The cake will be slightly golden brown and the cherries will seep through the cake layer some. You can also use a toothpick to test for doneness, just as you would with a cake in the oven.
Scoop out and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Perfect recipe there Lisa, easy peasy and delicious. I especially like that you can have all the ingredients on hand and that it only takes 2 hours so can be made anytime you get a hankering for a fruity dessert.
We may or may have made this with other fruit several times since this the first time
Don’t forget the ice cream too!
So clever Lisa to use cake mix!! I need to try this!
I love how this recipe only requires 3 ingredients! Sounds so delicious and even better since it’s made in the crock pot!! Thank you for this- I cannot wait to try this.
I’ve made apple dump cake before and we loved it. I need to try it in the crockpot, cherry or apple. I like all flavors of dessert. It’s the right thing to do!
Amazing! I bet nothing can be as simple and easy as this recipe! I would love to have many servings of this!
I had no idea this was possible in the slow cooker, but it is delicious! I love the cakey buttery topping with the cherries!
Add some crushed pineapple with the cherries and I’m all in!
Jerry, that sounds delicious!
what setting for cooker ???
On high for two hours
Can this recipe be cooked on slow? My slow cooker doesn’t have a high setting. Thank you in advance.
I’ve never cooked it on slow but I don’t see why not. It would take a bit longer to bake. I would check it after two hours to see how much more time you may need
Just curious; what happens if you mix melted butter to the cake mix then spread it across the top of the cherries? I see these type of recipes all the time; but there are always areas where the butter didn’t melt that I imagine would be just powder. Any idea on the importance? Thanks!
Shelly, Using the slow cooker, I didn’t have any of the powder areas you mention. I would say experiment! You could also cut the butter into smaller pieces to cover more area.
