A few weeks ago I share this Crock Pot Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe and decided that it would be very easy to make any fruit flavored upside down cake simply by changing up the fruit topping used.
Using canned pie filling makes that very easy to do. Canned pie filling is available in many fruit flavors. I can't wait to try other flavors of upside down cakes made in the crock pot.

Recipe Expert Tips
- Using a different size slow cooker will not yield the same results. A 6 quart slow cooker was used for this recipe and the cooking time is for that specific size slow cooker. A large slow cooker will cook in a shorter amount of time. I would not suggest using a smaller size slow cooker with this recipe as it might not cook completely in the center while the outside edges may over cook.
