Desserts can be finicky; if you don’t have the temperature and moisture content perfectly correct the texture will suffer. That’s why we love making desserts in the slow cooker. The low, moist heat of a slow cooker helps create tender desserts that are creamy and not too dense. Whether you’re craving fruit cobbler or a creamy cheesecake, your slow cooker is the key to making easy desserts. It offers hands-off convenience that’s not typically associated with making desserts, which normally get cooked up in the oven or stovetop.
One of our favorites? This simple cake that’s sweet and fruity with hints of toasty cinnamon flavor. Be sure to line inner pot with two layers of foil to prevent any burning around the edges.
