Notes
-I prefer to use salted butter, but you can swap unsalted if you prefer.
-You can cut the amount of butter to 1/2 cup if you prefer.
-Look for canned pie filling which calls out "has more fruit".
-The double layer of paper towels is essential for getting a good texture with the cake mix crust.
-To add extra crunch you can sprinkle on pecans, walnuts, almonds or other nuts before cooking.
-To serve this Slow Cooker Cherry Dump Cake, you can top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or serve plain.
-To store, let the dump cake cool completely then store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3 days.
