🍑 Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches
📝 Ingredients:
- 2 cans (15 oz each) of sliced peaches in syrup or juice (don’t drain)

- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional but adds depth)
- ½ tsp nutmeg (optional)

🍽️ Instructions:
- Prep your slow cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or nonstick spray.

- Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches — do not stir.
