Ingredients

29 ounces sliced peaches in heavy syrup, do not drain: These juicy peaches form the base of the cake, adding sweetness and moisture.
15.25 ounces sliced peaches in heavy syrup, drained: More peach goodness, these drained slices provide balance without excess liquid.
15.25 ounces dry yellow cake mix: The cake mix gives the dessert its fluffy, crumbly topping with a classic flavor.
16 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled: This adds rich flavor and helps create a golden, crunchy topping.
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional: A hint of nutmeg can warm up the flavors, enhancing the overall dessert experience.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Lightly spray a 5-6 quart crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Add the undrained sliced peaches and the drained sliced peaches into the crockpot, spreading them evenly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, melted and cooled butter, and ground nutmeg (if using). Stir until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
Evenly sprinkle the buttered cake mix mixture over the canned peaches in the crockpot to create a nice topping.
Secure the lid on the crockpot tightly.
Cook on High for 2 hours until the cake is set and golden.
Once cooked, serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped topping.
