If you prefer a lighter version, see the tips section below.Step-by-Step InstructionsStep 1: Prepare the Slow CookerLightly grease the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or a thin layer of butter. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup much easier later.Step 2: Add the PeachesPour both cans of sliced peaches with all their syrup into the bottom of the slow cooker. Spread them out evenly so they fully cover the base. This juicy peach layer becomes the soft, fruity bottom of the cake.Step 3: Add the Cake MixSprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches. Try to cover as much of the fruit as possible.Do not stir.Not stirring is the secret to getting that classic dump cake texture—gooey fruit on the bottom and a soft, cake-like topping on top.Step 4: Drizzle the ButterIn a small bowl or measuring cup, stir the cinnamon into the melted butter (if using). Slowly drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the dry cake mix. Try to moisten as much of the surface as you can for even cooking.Step 5: Slow CookCover the slow cooker with the lid and cook:On HIGH: 2½ to 3 hoursOn LOW: 4 to 5 hoursThe cake is ready when the top looks set and lightly golden, and the edges are bubbling like a soft cobbler.Step 6: Rest Before ServingTurn off the slow cooker and let the cake sit uncovered for 10–15 minutes. This allows it to thicken slightly and makes serving easier.Step 7: Serve and EnjoyScoop the warm peach dump cake into bowls and serve as-is, or top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra-special treat.Variations & Helpful TipsExtra-Fruity VersionAdd a small can of drained pineapple tidbits or an extra cup of frozen peaches on top of the canned peaches for more fruit flavor and a little tang.Spice It UpSwap the cinnamon for 1–2 teaspoons of apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice for a cozy, fall-inspired dessert—perfect for holidays.Lighter SweetnessUse peaches packed in juice instead of heavy syrup and reduce the butter to 6 tablespoons. The texture will be slightly lighter but still satisfying.Crunchy ToppingFor added texture, sprinkle ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts over the dry cake mix before adding the butter. You can leave part of the cake nut-free for picky eaters.For Picky EatersIf visible peach slices are an issue, roughly chop the peaches in the can with kitchen scissors before adding them to the slow cooker.
